Experience the enchanting beauty of Shippagan, nestled within the heart of the Acadian Peninsula in northeastern New Brunswick, as participants gather for the third edition of the Gran Fondo Véloroute Péninsule acadienne on Saturday, August 22, 2026. This event offers a unique blend of sport and culture, providing an ideal setting to take up personal challenges across various routes designed for all skill levels. The atmosphere is one of camaraderie and enjoyment as riders can choose their own pace through the scenic landscapes that characterize this region. Registration opens on July 3, offering participants the chance to receive a complimentary adult-sized jersey, specially crafted for this event. After this date, no jerseys will be included with registration fees. For those looking to enjoy the festivities without riding, there are options available such as the Celebration Only registration at $50 plus processing fees. This includes participation in the 5 à 7 (Happy Hour) on Friday evening and a seafood meal post-race celebration, allowing companions to savor local delicacies while supporting their fellow riders. The event kicks off with Gran Fondo participants setting out at 7:00 AM for an impressive 145-kilometer journey. The Medio route of 90 kilometers commences just one hour later at 8:00 AM, followed by the Piccolo course covering 55 kilometers starting at 10:00 AM. Cyclonmini enthusiasts can join in a shorter but equally thrilling adventure beginning at 10:15 AM. Before embarking on your ride, you won't want to miss the 5 à 7 (Happy Hour) event held the evening before at the Aquarium located at 106 Aquarium Street, Shippagan. Enjoy a taste of local flavors and mingle with fellow enthusiasts in this warm setting. Registration concludes on August 16th by midnight Atlantic Time. Refunds are available until July 3rd at midnight; however, rain or shine, the event will proceed as planned. Explore marine life exhibits free of charge during your visit to the Aquarium before embarking on your chosen route. Each participant can look forward to a celebratory seafood meal after completing their ride, marking a perfect end to an exhilarating day in nature's embrace. Mark your calendars and join us for this unforgettable experience that promises to bring together riders from diverse backgrounds under one banner of shared passion and enjoyment.
