Project Echelon Gran Fundo

Project Echelon is a 501.3c veteran’s non-profit that removes the barriers to healing by fostering relationships between veterans, their communities, and professional athletes through mentorship, structure, and the promotion of long term health and wellbeing through endurance sport.

For the fourth consecutive year, Project Echelon will host our charity bicycle ride where we will invite our veterans and their families, supporters, and local cycling enthusiasts to come ride in a social environment with our professional team and our special guests. This charity ride is known as a Gran Fondo. Our ride is not a race or a competition; it is a group ride where participants will abide by all traffic laws and work together to ensure safe riding takes place and community is fostered.

This year, we will continue our 2024 partnership with the Oro Valley Chamber of Commerce and Discover Marana. These communities have established themselves as leaders in cycling tourism and have welcomed Project Echelon in with open arms. We are grateful for their support and we encourage you to give back to the community by staying, shopping and dining in the area.
