Experience the ultimate gravel cycling adventure at FoCo Fondo, celebrating its 11th year as Northern Colorado's premier event. Set to return from July 16–19, 2026, this thrilling race will take place in Fort Collins, with New Belgium Brewing serving as both a starting and finishing point for all routes. Whether you're tackling the Here for It 12-mile route or venturing out on the legendary Triple Dog Dare 118 miles, five distinct distances cater to every level of ambition. Each course offers unique terrain that showcases the vibrant landscapes surrounding Fort Collins, from rolling hills to scenic trails. The event promises a rich array of activities beyond just racing. Attendees can explore two days of the Bike & Outdoor Lifestyle Expo, enjoy live music performances, partake in brewery tours, and participate in shakeout rides before the main event. A celebration awaits at the finish line with a post-ride Fat Tire beer (or non-alcoholic alternative) and a hearty meal. FoCo Fondo is committed to inclusivity, offering one of the most diverse prize structures among competitive gravel cycling events. Prizes are evenly distributed across men's, women's, and non-binary/gender expansive categories, ensuring equal opportunities for all participants. Additional podiums recognize age group, para, and single speed achievements. For those looking to give back or simply enjoy a team experience, FoCo Fondo introduces the inaugural Saturday costumed team relay fundraiser in support of Friends of FoCo Fondo, their 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This event now extends its scholarship program to include para athletes alongside existing support for BIPOC, women, and non-binary riders. Children can join free of charge, with half-price registration available for teens (ages at the end of the year). Early bird pricing is also on offer, making it easier than ever to secure your spot. For those eager to contribute directly, volunteering opportunities are available—first come, first served—and a hard cap of 2,500 riders ensures an intimate and engaging atmosphere.
