What is the Top End Gran Fondo?
The Sunbuild Top End Gran Fondo is the Northern Territory’s largest cycling event. The event takes in some of the best riding that the region has to offer alongside hundreds of other keen cyclists, hosted by the Darwin Cycling Club, who are instrumental in the Top End cycling scene.
It is iconic in the Northern Territory, and includes participation options to suit any rider and ability level. Starting and finishing in Darwin’s beautiful Waterfront Precinct, riders in the event's variety of distances will get to ride on 40km of closed roads between Darwin and Palmerston, as well as take in a lap of the Charles Darwin National Park, right outside the Darwin City Centre.
For non-Territorians, the Sunbuild Top End Gran Fondo falls right in the middle of the Dry season in the Territory, when Darwin comes alive with great weather, cultural events and festivals, and stunning natural attractions. It’s the perfect time to plan your next cycling adventure in Darwin, and explore some of the Northern Territory’s regional tourist treasures.
what's special about the tegf?
We’re proud to deliver the fully-closed roads of the Top End Gran Fondo for event distances as short as 5km and all the way up to 135km. A buzzing event precinct at the Darwin Waterfront, Aid Stations to keep you fed and watered, and the wonderful warm, dry weather of Darwin in the dry season make for an unforgettable road cycling experience!
