GreenMonkey has partnered with Nordic Ways to bring Kiwi cyclists to experience racing in China at the 2025 Yunnan Granfondo spanning five stages!
Tentative dates November 8-15, 2025
Fancy a Cycling Adventure in China? The Yunnan Gran Fondo is a five-stage event through the stunning Yunnan Province.
Conquer 10,000+ meters of climbing across picturesque countryside, with both short and long stage options available. Think of it as the Cycle Challenge Taupo on a grander scale! Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate amateur, you'll find your place in the 1800 riders at the start-line.
GreenMonkey has experienced the Gran Fondo first-hand (2014, 2015, and 2024), and we've crafted the perfect package for Kiwi riders. Enjoy fully signed, CLOSED roads, regular feed stations, support vans for luggage and bikes, bilingual staff for all your needs, and comfortable 3* or 4* accommodation.
Prices range from $3600 to $4500 NZD (excluding flights), depending on your hotel choice and room occupancy.

"Yunnan is an idyllic province and the granfondo very diverse, and therefore a complete experience" — Olivia Ghisoni (ITA)
