The Paolo Bettini GreenFondo - Geothermal Energy returns to its roots. The 2026 edition will be held on Sunday, April 12th and will mark an important date change, returning to its historic spring period after several years of different calendar placement.

A strategic and identity-driven choice, designed to maximize the value of the host territory: Tuscany. In spring, with its colors and ideal temperatures, these places make the cycling experience among the hills and geothermal areas truly unique. April represents the perfect moment to experience cycling in the open air, rediscovering the original spirit of the event.

It is also confirmed with great satisfaction that the Paolo Bettini GreenFondo - Geothermal Energy 2026 will be an official event of the Granducato di Toscana circuit, taking on a leading role as the circuit's opening race.

The event's formula will remain the one that has won over hundreds of enthusiasts over the years: a race with timed sections, designed for those who love sporting competition, combined with a tourist route, allowing everyone to enjoy the course at their own pace and participation philosophy.

There are also innovations on the organizational and registration front. Starting in 2026, the timing chip will be included in the registration fee thanks to the introduction of a new management system.

The Paolo Bettini GreenFondo - Geothermal Energy 2026 is preparing to inaugurate the cycling season in the best possible way, combining sport, territory, and passion. A return to origins that looks ahead, with the goal of offering an increasingly curated, engaging, and representative event of Tuscan excellence.
