Sportive Event...
Sunday 22nd June

NOT
TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE NOVE COLLI MARCO PANTANI HELD IN MAY
The Gran Fondo Marco Pantani
is a relatively new event to the Gran Fondo calendar and is held
over a classic course in the Italian Alps,
taking in the mythical climbs of the Gavia and Mortirolo which often
feature so prominently in the Giro d’Italia.
The event starts
and finishes in the ski town of Aprica, and is held over a classic
mountainous course that Marco Pantani would have relished
in his hey day. There is a choice of either 93km (Corto Fondo),
112km (Medio Fondo) or the full 172km (Gran Fondo).
The full 172km Gran Fondo route covers 3 mountain passes including
the Passo Gavia, Mortirolo, Passo S. Cristina whilst the 152km
Medio Fondo covers 2 mountain passes Passo Gavia and Mortirolo
The shorter
93km Corto Fondo covers the climb of the Mortirolo.
The event is
very well organised with numerous feed stations, tech support and
electronic timing.
There is a pasta party both before the event and afterwards and
also included with your entry is a Gran Fondo Marco Pantani T-Shirt.
