NEW YORK CITY, March 5, 2015- The second annual GFNY ITALIA will be held on September 20, 2015 in Terracina, Lazio. GFNY Italia is an authentic Italian granfondo. The course is one of the most spectacular in all of Italy with views of the Tyrrhenian Sea, the Ausoni and Aurunci Mountains, Roman ruins, medieval mountaintop villages, countless vineyards and lemon, orange and olive groves.
GFNY Italia has the perfect length and amount of climbing for a late-season event. It will challenge its participants and make them tired but is a manageable late-season goal. Its small, technical roads make it highly entertaining and the Italian riders approach it like they always do: “a tutta”, all out.
Race sponsors include De Rosa, Limar, Selle San Marco and Biemme. For sponsorship inquiries, please contact GFNY Italia at info@gfnyitalia.com.
Rome and its international airports are only 90 min. by car from Terracina, which makes GFNY Italia easily accessible, and also a perfect base to explore one of the most fascinating cities in the world.
GFNY Italia offers two distances: a long distance route of 83mi with 6,230ft of climbing (133km / 1899m) and a medium distance of 68mi with 5,426ft of climbing (109km / 1654m).
