About the Event

Immerse yourself in Acadian culture and stunning coastal scenery at the Gran Fondo Baie Sainte-Marie in Nova Scotia on 13 September 2026. This celebrated mass-participation cycling event offers three spectacular routes along the shores of Saint Mary’s Bay: challenge yourself on the 128km Gran route, enjoy the popular rolling 67km Medio, or discover the accessible 35km Piccolo. More than just a ride, it's a vibrant community festival where local volunteers and cheering crowds waving Acadian flags create an unforgettable, welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. Your registration includes the legendary post-ride lobster lunch (with BBQ and veggie options), capping off a perfect day of riding on some of Canada’s most beautiful and hospitable roads. Whether you're an experienced cyclist or new to fondo riding, this is a must-do destination event that combines epic cycling with true Maritime spirit.
