Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan

-

The 10th edition of the Granfondo Axel Merckx Okanagan offers up three distance options (55, 92 and 160 km) for riders on Sept. 19, all starting and finishing in Penticton, B.C. Organizers have built the event to respect anticipate­d covid restrictio­ns while still aiming to preserve the sense of community participan­ts have enjoyed in the past. Rider package pickup will be electronic. The starts will be in waves. Aid stations, and the start and finish areas, will be modified to ensure participan­t and volunteer safety.

While some elements may be different, riders can expect the same supportive environmen­t, beautiful lakeside and mountain roads that characteri­ze the event. granfondoa­xelmerckx.com)
