Garden State Fondo (formerly Gran Fondo NJ) is the nation's #1 large-scale cycling event. The ride takes place each September in Morristown, NJ and attracts over 2,500 passionate and active individuals to ride bikes, have fun, and challenge themselves in one of the most scenic corners of the Northeast. Garden State Fondo is deeply rooted in supporting the New Jersey community, and has donated over $1.5 million to local charities throughout the years. Join us this September for our 10th Anniversary and enjoy the most fun you'll ever have on a bike in one day!

The event encompasses an entire weekend of events throughout Morristown. The Fondo itself offers riders 6 unique routes to choose from ranging from 18 miles to the 120-mile Estremo route. The Gran Fondo route is a 107-mile challenge with nearly 8,000 feet of elevation gain, and 4-timed hill climb sections. Riders are supported with 6-gourmet rest stops along the route featuring delicious food from local caterers, as well as standard ride nutrition and hydration. Riders and their families celebrate the day's accomplishment at the Post Ride Festival with complimentary buffet, beer and awards.
