Lake Walk, the lively town center featuring lifestyle and outdoor pursuits, hosts the Third Annual CHI St. Joseph Gran Fondo on March 3.
The cycling event, which begins at 7:30am, benefits CHI St. Joseph Health’s cancer services. Cyclists start at The Lookout Observation Tower outside The Stella Hotel and ride through the scenic, bluebonnet-covered Brazos Valley, with plenty of rest stations throughout the route. The event concludes at the Lake Walk pavilion with festivities for the riders, volunteers, and their guests.
Registration for the 20-, 40-, 70- or 100-mile rides can be done online or at the Lake Walk Pavilion on the day of the race beginning at 7am. Race packets can be picked up on March 2 at Bike Barn in College Station, and at the Lake Walk Pavilion on March 3. For more information on the CHI St. Joseph Gran Fondo, visit www.granfondobcs.com.
Also occurring this year is the Gran Gravel 500, a challenging 500-mile cycling event suited for ultra-cyclists and long-distance cycling enthusiasts. The race starts at The Stella Hotel at 5am, and traverses through rugged terrain across several counties in the Brazos Valley.
