The Port Douglas Gran Fondo Festival will be held in one of the most beautiful locations in the world, Tropical North Queensland. The three-day festival is the perfect excuse to visit and explore this stunning region.
The 136km and 100km Gran Fondo, the 60km Semi Fondo and the 48km Medio Fondo will be held on Sunday 14 September. These rides will be timed but are not a race, so you can choose to challenge yourself for a best time, or take the time to soak in the beautiful surroundings. Stop to take photos, enjoy the experience with family and friends and most importantly, stay safe.
The Port Douglas Gran Fondo courses will take you along Great Barrier Reef Drive between Port Douglas and Palm Cove, while taking in breathtaking views through the palm trees alongside the Coral Sea. This road will be fully closed to traffic to allow you to really enjoy the ride and scenic course.
PLUS, Australia’a newest running event is now part of the Festival! Join us on Saturday 13 September 2025 for the very first RUN PORT DOUGLAS event. There is a distance for everyone with a 21.1km Half Marathon, 10km, 5km and 2km races to choose from. All distances will finish with a run along the world famous Port Douglas Four Mile Beach. What a spectacular location for a finish line!
