What is a GFNY Super Sunday?

October 10, 2024

2nd edition of GFNY Maryland and 4th edition of GFNY Peru-Cusco will both take place this Sunday and form yet another “Sunday Sunday”

/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – GFNY continues with yet another “Super Sunday” where two GFNY races are held on the same day. With over 30 GFNY races taking place per year around the globe, overlapping race days are unavoidable.

“Whenever we have two races on the same day, we’re making sure it’s distinct offers in very distinct locations,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “That way riders have it easier to decide where to race. On our end, we have strong teams in each location to guarantee exceptional experiences. And the teams are supported remotely by our headquarters staff for any eventualities.”

Meanwhile, races who are a week apart but regionally nearby have become sought after for travelers from farther away to benefit from having two races within one week of vacation. This is especially attractive where GFNY offers a camp during that week at the second location. In 2025, these are planned again for Italy, France and Germany.

GFNY Maryland (USA)

The second edition of GFNY Cambridge Maryland offers racers a 92.4 mile long course with 481 ft of climbing.

The course will take riders along Dorchester County, a place of natural unspoiled beauty, including beautiful views of Chesapeake Bay coastline.

Race week activities will again take place at Ollantaytambo´s main city square, surrounded by magical ruins and extensive agricultural Inca terraces.
