Please don’t call us a RACE.

We are an Event. A 3 Day Event. A big Party.

In its ninth edition, the still young but very dynamic Gran Fondo Squali , organized by Velo Club Cattolica and Cicloteam 2001 Gabicce Mare, is among the most popular and most attended amateur events in Italy.
According to a study conducted by the prestigious magazine Cicloturismo, it is the only amateur event in Italy that has seen a 37% increase in the 2022 edition, with 3,000 registered participants and about 10,000 tourists during the race weekend.

Are you a runner or cyclist?

The ideal place to realize your dreams is by pedaling along the Squali routes.

Two beautiful routes designed for all types of muscles and the desire to pedal.
The medium route of 85 km with a 1393 m elevation gain and the long route of 128 km with an impressive 2020 m elevation gain cross two regions and areas that are made for bicycle lovers, surrounded by the nature of the hills of Romagna and Marche.
Departure from the Cattolica Aquarium and arrival at Gabicce Monte, magical and inimitable, after covering the last 15 km amidst the breath-taking scenery of the Regional Natural Park of Monte San Bartolo
Athletes from Canada, the United States, Brazil, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Germany, Belgium, France, Poland, Spain, and San Marino challenged themselves by pedaling through this panorama and brought home an unforgettable experience.
