The Australian 2025 Gran Fondo National Championships will take place on the National Road course in Perth 12 January, just before the elite men’s and women’s championship road races.

Riders will race for 6 laps covering 81 kilometers, including 1000 meters of vertical ascent, on a technical course that includes flat sections, fast downhills, punchy climbs, sharp corners and even a few European style roundabouts.

National champion titles and jerseys will be awarded for men and women in the following age group categories: 19-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75+.

Results will be based solely on elapsed time – not first across the finish line. Riders that finish in a bunch will be each given their own elapsed time and scored on that basis, no matter who’s wheel crosses the line first.

Anyone is eligible for a placing within their category, but only AusCycling members are eligible to win a gran fondo national championship jersey. For example, if the first 3 finishers in a category are non-members and the first AusCycling member in that category is 5th. The top 3 will receive the gold, silver, and bronze medals respectively. The 5th place finisher would receive the Australian Champions jersey and be the Australian Gran Fondo Champion for 2025 for that category.
