Plan Description
One hundred three miles, 7,535 feet, and the first timed climb before your legs have finished waking up
Highlands Gran Fondo returns to Butler, New Jersey, on Sunday, June 6, 2027. The organizer's provisional Gran route covers 103.5 miles with 7,535 feet of climbing, crosses the Appalachian Trail eight times, and uses four timed segments to decide the standings while a ten-mile-per-hour progression cutoff keeps the long course moving.
For the rider with four to six hours a week, this twelve-week Alpine-Fondo plan directs limited time toward climbing economy, muscular endurance, and one purposeful longer ride while preparing honestly for the ten-mile-per-hour progression requirement.
INSIDE THE TIME-CRUNCHED PLAN — 4–6 HR/WK
Includes zone-tailored structured rides for your devices, built-in strength with video walkthroughs, heat protocols for when your race calls for them, peloton skills workouts, and nutrition and hydration guidance.
The Complete Highlands Gran Fondo Guide — the training, the tactics, the gear and race day, explained simply and clearly: what to do, when to do it, and why it works.
