The Great Challenge Cycling

The MONTE GRAPPA CHALLENGE was born, almost from a family joke in 2009, with the objectiveof defying a mountain rich in scenery, history, suggestive and  passionate worthy climbs of salitomani. Not only is this a challenge against nature, it becomes a personal challenge against oneself, in order to put to the test ones own limits and abilities

This non competitive event allows the creation of a climate of festivity between cyclists, who ride side by side helping one another, giving encouragement during the more difficult moments whilst respecting the loyalty of the sport.  The Monte Grappa Challenge also means to defy “the mountain” in the true sense of the term in regards to its climbs. A minimum of two and maximum of five climbs in the same day in order to complete the distances BASE, MEDIUM, STRONG and EXTRASTRONG with a minimum of 100km and 3300m gain in altitude or maximum of 270km and over 8100m gain in altitude.

Organized, as well as to entertain those who enjoy "carefree sport" to raise funds which will then be donated entirely to the Society of Adolescence in Veneto Region (SADVE) Onlus of Cittadella (PD) and the Conca d'Oro Onlus Foundation of Bassano del Grappa (VI).
