Gran Fondo National Series Partners With The White Line

February 19, 2026

Series to support The White Line’s mission to improve safety for all road users.

Gettysburg, PA (February 19, 2026) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Gran Fondo National Series today announced that The White Line™ will be the organization’s Advocacy and Philanthropy Partner for 2026 and beyond. Series participants will have opportunities to donate to The White Line initiatives, and the two organizations intend to work together to advocate for legislation that improves safety for all road users.

The White Line is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving and honoring the legacy of US National Team Member and US National Champion, Magnus White by advocating for the safety of all vulnerable road users and helping to create safer road environments. The organization played an integral role in drafting a key piece of legislation, The Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act of 2025 (H.R.3649), that prioritizes technologies that better protect everyone on the road.

Gran Fondo National Series’ mission and values align with The White Line’s areas of influence. Gran Fondo National Series and its Partner-Events organize road cycling events in multiple states and work closely with local communities to promote safety and accessibility for all road users.

“The White Line’s legislative work is crucial,” said Gran Fondo National Series Founder and Event Director, Reuben Kline. “Roads are for everyone and it is important for industry and individuals to improve safety for pedestrians, runners, cyclists, scooters, e-bikes, and other drivers.”

“This partnership is about turning shared values into real-world action,” said Jacqueline Claudia, Executive Director of The White Line. “Gran Fondo National Series brings together thousands of people who personally understand what’s at stake on our roads. By working together, we can translate that awareness into pressure, progress, and policies that save lives.”

The White Line will have a brand presence at all six Gran Fondo National Series owned events in 2026, and participants will have opportunities to learn about the organizations mission and donate to their fundraising efforts:

• March 22 – Gran Fondo Florida (Dade City, Florida)
• April 19 – Tour of Georgia Gran Fondo (Helen, Georgia)
