Riders will tackle the classic course in Chile’s renowned Casablanca wine region

New York City, September 24, 2026 – First held in 2017, GFNY Chile will take place this Sunday in Casablanca, bringing riders to one of Chile’s most renowned wine regions for a challenging day of racing amid spectacular scenery.

The 127.9 km course features 1,832 meters of climbing and starts and finishes at the picturesque Casona Viña Veramonte. Riders will take on rolling terrain through the Casablanca Valley, combining demanding climbs and fast sections surrounded by vineyards and the region’s distinctive landscapes.

With Viña Veramonte serving as the race venue, riders and spectators will experience a unique setting that brings together competitive cycling, Chilean wine country and the festive atmosphere of GFNY.

“Eight editions of GFNY Chile show how firmly the race has established itself on our calendar,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “It’s a great way to open the spring cycling season in Chile, while bringing riders and their families to Casablanca to experience the region beyond the race. That combination of cycling, travel and destination experience is at the heart of GFNY and creates meaningful tourism for our host destinations.”

The GFNY Expo and mandatory packet pickup will take place on Saturday at Mall Sport in Santiago, where riders will collect their race materials and prepare for race day.

On Sunday, the action moves to Casona Viña Veramonte in Casablanca for the start, finish and race-day festivities.
