Its competitive hierarchy connects GFNY races with National and Continental Championships, culminating in the GFNY World Championship in New York City. This progression is known as the GFNY Road to NYC.<\/p>\n GFNY events feature fully timed racing with age-group competition and are open to a wide range of riders, combining competitive structure with accessible participation. GFNY operates its own integrated registration, results, and ranking system, maintaining direct relationships with participants across all events. While road cycling is its foundation, GFNY also operates select events in gravel, mountain bike, and running within the same competitive framework.<\/p>\n The official GFNY website is: gfny.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC<\/p>\n The Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship New York City is GFNY\u2019s flagship race and the final step on the GFNY Road to NYC.<\/p>\n Held annually on a challenging road course in and around New York City, the event brings together riders from more than 90 countries who have earned their place through GFNY races and championships worldwide.<\/p>\n The official website of the Michelob ULTRA GFNY World Championship NYC is<\/p>\n NYC.GFNY.COM<\/a>.<\/p>\n GFNY Pro Series<\/p>\n The GFNY Pro Series places UCI-sanctioned professional races directly alongside GFNY mass-participation events using the same courses and the same road closures.<\/p>\n Professional fields start minutes ahead of the GFNY mass peloton, creating a shared race environment while maintaining clear competitive separation. This format increases visibility for teams and sponsors and allows professional racing to operate within existing event infrastructure.<\/p>\n The model was first implemented at Gran Premio New York City, where professional teams race the GFNY World Championship course shortly before the amateur start. GP NYC serves as the template for future Pro Series events.<\/p>\n The GFNY Pro Series expands selectively. Additional UCI races are added only where local conditions, funding, and infrastructure support sustainable professional competition. Planned events include Gran Premio Cozumel, held in conjunction with GFNY Cozumel, pending UCI approval.<\/p>\n GFNY is also evaluating the addition of women\u2019s professional racing within the Pro Series, beginning with a potential women\u2019s race in New York City, developed in partnership with organizations supporting the growth of women\u2019s pro cycling.<\/p>\n The official website of the GFNY Pro Series\u2019 flagship event, Gran Premio New York City, is gp.gfny.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Further Material for Media Use<\/p>\n GFNY Results: here<\/a> Media Contact<\/p>\n Gran Fondo New York Inc.
