New York City, September 7, 2023 -This Sunday, York will host the first edition of GFNY Pennsylvania.  The challenging race course is 84.3 miles long with an elevation gain of 5143 feet.  

York county is full of rich and historic heritage, home to beautiful rolling hills, valleys and rivers which offers an ideal cycling getaway.  GFNY riders, families and friends will enjoy exquisite restaurants, breweries, wineries, coffee roasters, charming towns and unique shops.

“Sport York is proud to partner with GFNY to host the 2023 GFNY York” , says Rasheeda Martin of Explore York.  “An event as prestigious as this one deserves to be held in a county that can showcase it and provide the best facility and accommodations for its participants. York county is excited to welcome the many athletes and families to our area”.

“We’ve been received with open arms and incredible hospitality by York,” said GFNY President Lidia Fluhme. “Everyone in York is genuinely excited for GFNY and its riders to come to town and county. This guarantees an exceptional experience for riders and accompanying friends and families alike.”

Race week activities will take place at York Expo Center.  It includes the fun GFNY Pennsylvania group ride on Friday and Saturday where riders get to do a relaxed ride together with friends and competitors.
