About This Event

Last updated June 7, 2026

Event for 2027 has not been confirmed yet… The Oregon Gran Fondo 2027 is a popular cycling event in and around Cottage Grove, Oregon, just 20 minutes south of Eugene, Oregon. The event is known for its challenging routes, beautiful scenery, and fun and festive atmosphere that attracts cyclists of all levels from across the country. Oregon Gran Fondo 2027 is an Oregon Triple Crown Series event produced by Mudslinger Events, a premier Northwest cycling event producer. Rated by Strambecco as one of the Best Road Cycling Race Events in the Northwest, the Best Gravel Cycling Race Events in the Northwest, and one of the Best Gravel Cycling Race Events in Oregon.

One of the key reasons for the popularity of the Oregon Gran Fondo is the range of route options available. The event uniquely offers the choice of two all-road routes and two mixed-surface routes. The road routes include 117 and 71-mile options with 6,600 and 4,400-foot elevation gain, respectively. The mixed surface routes include 130 and 25-mile options with 8300 and 1800-foot elevation gain, respectively. The longer Adventure Route includes 16 miles of fast and somewhat loose gravel. 35MM Tires are recommended.

The event’s terrain is varied and challenging, with steep climbs, winding descents, and technical sections that test even the most experienced riders. The routes are designed to showcase Oregon’s natural beauty while also providing a challenging and rewarding ride for cyclists. The event attracts a diverse mix of cyclists, from competitive riders to casual enthusiasts, all united by a love of cycling and a desire to challenge themselves on some of the most beautiful roads in Oregon.

The Oregon Triple Crown Series, organized by Mudslinger Events, allows cyclists to participate in up to six fully supported, timed rides through Oregon’s picturesque backroads. By registering for a 3 or 5-event pass, riders enjoy discounted entry fees—15% off for the 3-event pass and 20% off for the 5-event pass. Those who complete three events earn the title of “Oregon Triple Crowner” and are rewarded with a custom Pactimo jersey.
