The first edition of the San Lorenzo Cipressa Granfondo will take place on Sunday, April 6th, 2025: the amateur cycling event is organized with the patronage of Liguria 2025 European Region of Sport, the province of Imperia, the municipality of San Lorenzo al Mare and the municipality of Cipressa.

After the season's start with the Laigueglia International Granfondo, a new event arrives in Liguria. Cyclists will face a truly interesting route, starting and finishing by the sea but with a track rich in climbs and descents. Special attention is obviously placed on the final climb, the Cipressa, a climb that has become famous for its essential presence on the Milano-Sanremo route.

The start will be from the bicycle path in San Lorenzo al Mare to Imperia. After the first flat kilometers, the road will climb towards Colle San Bartolomeo, where the group will be approximately halfway through the route and where the first mountain grand prix of the day is located. Riders will descend before tackling the Monte Acquarone climb (with the first three subsequent kilometers of descent neutralized due to poor road conditions) before the grand finale, with the return to the seafront and the Cipressa climb to face. In total, the San Lorenzo Cipressa Granfondo route is 93 km.

The two-day event will begin on Saturday, April 5th at 9 am with the expo area opening and race package collection starting at 10 am. It will continue at 3:00 pm with the start of Bimbiinbici, a ride reserved for elementary and middle school children on the bicycle path section from San Lorenzo to Imperia. On Sunday, the event will start at 9:00 am. The event is open to all ACSI, F.C.I and Sports Promotion Entities members who have signed the convention for the year 2025.

In view of the San Lorenzo Cipressa Granfondo, the organizing committee has established hotel agreements with Aregai Marina Hotel and Hotel Riviera dei Fiori. Accommodation for cyclists and companions starts from 50 euros per night: all information is available at https://www.granfondosanlorenzocipressa.it/
