Third edition of GFNY Maryland this Sunday

October 2, 2025

Riders will tackle a flat but fast course in Cambridge

New York City (October 2, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – The third edition of the Michelob Ultra GFNY Maryland–Cambridge will take place this Sunday, October 5, bringing international cyclists to the Eastern Shore.

The 92.4-mile route is designed for speed and endurance: flat and fast, with the occasional challenge of coastal winds. The course rewards strong teamwork and steady pacing. Riders will pass through Dorchester County, an area of natural, unspoiled beauty, with stunning views of the Chesapeake Bay coastline.

“Michelob Ultra GFNY Maryland–Cambridge has quickly become a late season favorite for our East Coast riders,” said GFNY President Lidia Fluhme. “This event wouldn’t exist without the fantastic support of the City of Cambridge and funded in part by a grant from the Michael Erin Busch Sports Fund through Maryland Sports Youth and Amateur Sports Grant Program. Thank you for appreciating the value of bringing road cyclists to the area.”

Race festivities will be centered at Cedar & Race, where riders and spectators will enjoy a weekend of cycling and community. Highlights include the popular Group Rides on Friday and Saturday, giving participants the chance to warm up, meet fellow cyclists, and experience the camaraderie that defines GFNY events.

Cycling – Pro Racing

At Gran Premio New York City, professional teams race the same course as riders at the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC – but with a 10-minute head start. The third edition will be held on May 17, 2026.

Adding a women’s pro race would elevate the event further. The proposed format would have women starting 45 minutes ahead of the men’s pro race, giving them their own stage. However, the extended road closures required for this addition increase costs by $100,000.

For those interested in supporting women’s racing, GFNY is inviting companies and organizations to help sponsor this important addition. Contact GFNY to discuss partnership opportunities.
