The second edition of GFNY Peru will be held again in historic Cusco

New York City (April 6, 2022) – As race season commences, GFNY Endurance Sports Series continues with the second GFNY Peru this Sunday, April 10. The host town of Cusco is an old Inca city located in the Peruvian Andes. The course crosses archaeological Inca ruins and landscapes, such as The Sacred Valley and Puka Pukara.

The GFNY Peru racecourse covers 128.6km with 1729m of climbing, reaching up to a staggering 3780m above sea level.  This makes the race the world’s highest mass participation road cycling race.

“Racing at such high altitude has its particular fascination,” says GFNY CEO Uli Fluhme. “And doing so in this historical setting in the footsteps of Incas from thousands of years ago, is extra inspiring.”
