6th edition of Florida’s largest and hardest cycling race this Sunday
The 95 mile Michelob Ultra GFNY Florida-Sebring is a staple on the GFNY calendar
New York City, October 23, 2025 – The sixth edition of the Michelob Ultra GFNY Florida–Sebring will take place this Sunday, October 26, welcoming cyclists from around the world.
Racing a completely flat 95-mile long course at high speed is tough and makes it the hardest race in Florida. From the Barn at Paso Fino, the race enters the closed-to-traffic Highway Route 66, before taking on a two-loop circuit through Highlands and Hardee Counties that showcases the region’s open roads and scenic landscapes.
“Michelob Ultra GFNY Florida–Sebring has become Florida’s largest road race right from its inaugural edition in 2020,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “It’s tempting to credit the stunning open landscapes the race traverses through. But most riders won’t see much of it given the intensity of the race. They appreciate the opportunity to have a smooth race course and super fun atmosphere post race.”
Race festivities will be centered at The Barn at Paso Fino, where riders and spectators will enjoy a full weekend dedicated to cycling and community. Highlights include the popular Group Rides which will take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, giving participants the chance to warm up, meet fellow cyclists, and experience the GFNY spirit.

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.
