2024 was a huge success!
What an incredible weekend at Gran Fondo Lake Huron 2024! A huge thank you to our riders, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters for making last year’s event such a success.
On Saturday, 850 cyclists set out from Southampton, enjoying scenic lakeshore routes in support of local healthcare. That evening, we kept the energy high with Casino Night, bringing the community together for fun and fundraising. The weekend wrapped up Sunday with our always-popular Kid’s Ride, giving the youngest riders their moment to shine.
Not only did everyone have an amazing time, but together, we raised $420,000 for healthcare. Thank you for pedaling, playing, and making a difference—we couldn’t do it without you!
