Valle de los Chillos will host the second edition of GFNY Quito this Sunday, November 26

GFNY Valle de los Chillos offers riders a race course of 110 km with 1800m of climbing.  This year’s race will start and finish at Parque Bulevar Santa Clara located in the beautiful Valle de los Chillos.  The town is part of the greater Quito metropolitan area, Ecuador’s capital in the high Andes.

“We’re grateful for the support of the government of Valle de los Chillos to host GFNY still this year after the country’s challenges just a few weeks ago,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “The brand new course will provide riders the safe experience they are used to from GFNY events – and obviously a serious challenge that will be memorable.”

Race week activities will take place at Plaza Doral in Valle de los Chillos.  It includes the fun warm up group ride on Saturday where riders get to do a relaxed ride together with friends and competitors.  On Sunday, riders will pass through the main streets of the historic center, tackle a mountain pass of 10km and a descent along Valle de los Chillos reaching a spectacular circuit in the city.
