If it’s been done before, it means we can; If it hasn’t, it means we can try.

In our endeavor to resurrect live professional bike racing in North America, we had to write our own playbook. We were doing something that’s never been done before. We trusted our instincts, listen to athletes, and pressed ahead. As the days got closer, the intricate detail of the effort required came into focus. Now that it’s behind us, it is at the same time very much before us…

Levi’s GranFondo, and The Growler Professional Road Race returns April 25th, 2026 to Sonoma County and the town of Windsor, California.

Registration will officially re-open for the 2026 edition of Levi’s GranFondo next week when you’ll be able to sign up for the event whether you’re riding for pleasure, racing as a junior, or applying to race with the elites.

In the meantime, we need to take stock of what just occurred to earn the continued support of our partners. With that, there are two surveys that we ask you complete in order to help us frame the narrative how impactful this event is for the economy here, and to understand from your perspective how we can improve.

For each one that you complete, and provide your email address you’ll get a chance to win some great prizes, including commemorative apparel, prizes from our partners, and gift cards to restaurants in Windsor, California.
