Cortofondo (48km)

The Cortofondo (48 km) category is the perfect starter distance for those new to cycling or returning to the sport after several years off the saddle. Just like the Mediofondo and Granfondo categories, the Cortofondo route begins on Penticton’s Main Street, near Lake Okanagan and adjacent to Gyro Park. Riders in this category will travel through Penticton, before heading North to Summerland along a flat, traffic-controlled highway section. This route includes one big hill – Peach Orchard Road (aka the Jakroo Reach for the Peach Hill Climb) in Summerland, B.C. – and includes an aid stations along the way.
