The Granfondo Giro dell'Etna will award the Italian National Jersey

The Granfondo Giro dell'Etna has an important tradition and since 1980 the event has written many pages of history, first as a professional race, then as an amateur stage race, and since 2021 as a Granfondo, and in the last four years it has returned to its former glory ...

Italian Granfondo Championship

The 5th edition of the Granfondo Giro dell'Etna will be the only stage of the Italian Master Granfondo Championship of the Italian Cycling Federation and for the occasion the organising company, the ASD Ciclistica Catanese, is already at work to set up a unique event on the highest volcano in Europe. 

There will be three routes, with different lengths and courses, which will run along the wonderful scenic roads of the foothills, in a continuous succession of ups and downs, fast climbs and descents, surrounded by unique scenery.

The short course the novelty 2025

Hundreds of cyclists from all over Italy (and some beyond) are expected for the most important event dedicated to amateur cycling and to the Granfondo and Mediofondo. And it is precisely the inclusion of the shorter route that is the first novelty of the 5th edition. In all, 66 kilometres for 1283 metres of altitude difference to make the Giro dell'Etna accessible to athletes who are not only less ambitious, but also less inclined to long distances and lots of climbs, as in the case of the Granfondo, where the distance and altimetry of the route are doubled (120 kilometres and 2150 metres). Also confirmed is the cyclosportive bike ride with a free start and which takes place parallel to the Giro dell'Etna, an opportunity to discover the area and its excellences in the name of hospitality, friendship, sport and fun.

Registration and package

There will be three steps to register to which three price ranges will correspond. To register, one can use the dedicated link on the website. In order to make travel as easy as possible and to allow fans to take advantage of the racing event and get to know the wonderful places in the province of Catania, the organisers have designed tourist packages and special agreements with hotels in the province. Sea and mountains at a time of year that in Sicily translates into a true taste of early summer.
