Klungkung

Klungkung is located about 50 km north of Denpasar. And east of Gianyar/Ubud. There are numerous hotels within a radius of 25 km in Ubud, Gianyar and Candidasa. Many hotels along the coast invite you to a beach vacation.

Klungkung is known for its classical Balinese paintings, which mainly depict the stories of epics such as the Mahabharata or the Ramayana. These classical-style paintings originate from the frescoes of Balinese palaces and can also be found in the Klungkung Palace in the city center. The Semarajaya Museum is also located in the area.

GFNY Bali 2025 will start in the area of "Jembatan Merah" on the 4-lane main road. This part is low traffic and we have enough space to set up a comfortable start/finish zone.

Course

Start/Finish of both distances, Gran Fondo 134 km and Medio Fondo 94 km, are locatated at the grounds of Jembatan Merah Proyek Pusat Kebudayaan Bali south of Semarapura (Klungkung).

The first 25 km to Candidasa are mostly flat and ideal to warm up riding along the coast. The first ascent leads through a wooded section up to the pass at an altitude of 81 meters. After a rapid descent, you reach Amlapura. From km 33 there is a steady, moderate climb up to 345 m at km 42. The next 20 km are uphill and downhill up to 540 m altitude. The routes separate in Rendang.

The Medio Fondo descends via Klungkung to the finish line.

The Gran Fondo begins the 20 km ascent to the crater rim of Kintamani with a breathtaking view down to the Lake Danau Batur. From km 90 onwards, the route descends 900 meters in altitude over 15 km. This is followed by 10 km of constant ups and downs before the last 450 meters of altitude difference from km 115 down to the finish line.

LONG COURSE IS A COMPETITION: Only the finishers of the long course are eligible for category rankings and Overall and Podium awards. If you want to race and be ranked in your category, you must complete the long course. Top 20% of finishers in each age group earn a spot in the Qualifier Corral at every GFNY World event.

 

MEDIUM COURSE IS NOT A COMPETITION: The riders of the medium course will be provided their start-to-finish time, but will not be ranked by finish time. All finish times will be listed in alphabetical order.

Perks included as part of GFNY Bali

THE JERSEY: All riders receive the official GFNY Bali race jersey, which is mandatory attire at the race. The jersey is designed in NYC and Made in Italy.

CHIP TIMING: GFNY Bali is a timed race. Each athlete has their own timing chip, which starts right after you cross the start line and stops when you cross the finish line. Timing results for all riders will be provided at the finish area on race day and online after the race.

FINISHER MEDAL: Every GFNY Bali finisher receives a medal, no matter which distance they completed. All finishers also earn a “Finish” towards their 3x2025 GFNY medal or the 10x medal. Go to gfny.com/medals for more information on GFNY’s multi-finisher medals.
