Riders will tackle a stunning new coastal route

New York City, November 20, 2025 – The 4th edition of GFNY Puerto Rico is set to take place in the vibrant region of Ponce. Riders will tackle the brand new 115.3 km course featuring just 556 meters of climbing, with both start and finish at the Hotel Ponce Hilton Resort. 

 “After last year’s race, our riders told us they wanted a course that feels more accessible,” says GFNY President Lidia Fluhme. “So instead of sending the race inland into the mountains, we’ve secured a coastal route. It delivers the best of both worlds: the front of the race will be fast and competitive, while those focused on the personal challenge have a much better chance to reach the finish.”

Riders will enjoy GFNY Puerto Rico’s social group rides on Friday and Saturday—an opportunity to warm up, connect with fellow cyclists, and preview part of the route in a relaxed setting. On Saturday afternoon, athletes are invited to a Happy Hour at 4 p.m., a festive pre-race gathering before the excitement of Sunday.

Cycling – Pro Racing

At Gran Premio New York City, professional teams race the same course as riders at the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC – but with a 10-minute head start. The third edition will be held on May 17, 2026.

Adding a women’s pro race would elevate the event further. The proposed format would have women starting 45 minutes ahead of the men’s pro race, giving them their own stage. However, the extended road closures required for this addition increase costs by $100,000.

For those interested in supporting women’s racing, GFNY is inviting companies and organizations to help sponsor this important addition. Contact GFNY to discuss partnership opportunities.
