About Top End Gran Fondo 2025
Gran Fondo means “big endurance” — and that's exactly what this event delivers. The Sunbuild Top End Gran Fondo is the Northern Territory’s largest and most iconic community cycling event, hosted annually by the Darwin Cycling Club. Since 2012, this epic ride has brought together competitive, amateur, and recreational cyclists of all levels for a truly unique Top End experience.
