All Riders Welcome!

The Valley GranFondo was established as community centric cycling event with a focus on fundraising and growing the sport of cycling in BC. The event has continued to grow each year and we're excited to be back in Fort Langley again with an expanded charity program.

Riders have access to fully stocked aid stations, on-course medical and mechanical support, and a professionally managed course. After your ride, celebrate at the legendary post-ride festival at Eagle Acres Dairy Farm —featuring burgers and beverages, live music, games, SWAG, prizes, massages, and of course... farm animals!
