What is a Gran Fondo? A Gran Fondo is a type of ride that originated in Italy and translates to Big Ride. Known as a party on wheels, Gran Fondos offer food and refreshments along the route and are followed by huge post-race parties.
Register here for the Gran Fondo which offers all that and more! Several of the refreshment stops are at Niagara Wine Trail wineries.
The post-race party features live music, draft beer, wine tastings, fruit, water, and more! The Hospice Gran Fondo offers riders the opportunity to ride along some of the most beautiful bike routes Western New York has to offer. Riders can choose routes of 62 miles (100 km), 33 miles or 15 miles.

The Mighty Niagara Half Marathon was started by event chairman Paul Beatty, Jr. in 2011 as the Hospice Dash Half Marathon. The race was such a success that Niagara Hospice promoted it on a national level and made it a premier annual fundraising event for the community to support families in hospice care. It features live music along the route with historic sites and beautiful views of the Niagara River and Lake Ontario, post-race celebration, T-shirts, custom-made medals to commemorate your achievement and great food! Are you Mighty?
