MessengerLOUSÃ GRANFONDO
Event summary
Lousã Granfondo is a non-competitive cycling event held in Lousã, Portugal, on September 14, 2025. Designed for amateur and licensed cyclists alike, the event promotes open-road endurance cycling while timing overall completion and/or selected segments via chip. Participants can choose between three distances — Granfondo, Mediofondo, and Minifondo — each accommodating a variety of age groups and skill levels. The event adheres to regulations from the Portuguese Cycling Federation and UCI guidelines for open events. Only non-motorized bicycles are permitted, including road bikes, MTB, gravel, and tandems; e-bikes are allowed but ranked separately and not eligible for podiums. Athletes are grouped by age and gender, with podium prizes for top finishers in each category, plus team and fair-play awards. The race is chip-timed, and support includes mechanical assistance, feed stations, and emergency services. The course is held on open roads with mandatory traffic law compliance. All participants receive a finisher medal, digital diploma, photos, and a post-race meal.
