Nayarit will host the most anticipated cycling event of 2025: The Gran Fondo Whistler-Rivera Nayarit, which will take place in April 2025 and, according to the organizers, will be an unforgettable experience for cyclists from all over the world and their families, because they will travel routes of unforgettable natural beauty.
This international event will be held, for the first time, outside of Canada and will unite two of the most iconic and spectacular destinations on the American Continent, because participants will have the opportunity to take a route that will start in British Columbia and end in the idyllic Riviera Nayarit, which has paradisiacal places.
Its celebration outside of Canadian territory marks a milestone in the history of the event, because it is the most important cycling event in North America, by virtue of the fact that participants and their families enjoy the challenging routes and impressive landscapes in that maple country.
The celebration in Nayarit is due to the efforts of the state governor Miguel Ángel Navarro Quintero (Morena), who has played a crucial role in organizing the event; the collaboration not only highlights the state’s commitment to sport and tourism, but will also allow it to reach one of the key markets for tourists and vacationers: Canada.
On September 7, the Gran Fondo Whistler celebrated its inaugural edition in Canada, where Mexican cyclist Nicolás García, originally from Mexico City, was crowned champion in a close and exciting competition. This achievement highlights the growing importance of the event in the international cycling calendar and increases expectations for the edition in Riviera Nayarit in 2025.
The route of the Gran Fondo Whistler-Riviera Nayarit 2025 will include some of the most impressive destinations in the Riviera Nayarit. Cyclists will have the pleasure of crossing:
Punta de Mita: Known for its pristine beaches and exclusive atmosphere.
La Cruz de Huanacaxtle: A charming coastal town with a vibrant marina.
Sayulita: A destination famous for its bohemian atmosphere and ideal waves for surfing.
Bahía de Banderas: The largest bay in the Mexican Pacific, with spectacular landscapes and rich biodiversity.

Participants and their families will also have the opportunity to relax and explore the rich Mexican culture and gastronomy, with special events and activities after the race in La Riviera Nayarit.
The event highlights the hospitality, infrastructure, connectivity, culture and history of the Riviera Nayarit, offering an immersive experience that highlights the richness and diversity of the region. In addition, this project seeks to promote sports and physical activity as a lifestyle, as well as boost tourism in Nayarit and its destinations, generating long-term economic and social benefits.
