Overview GFNY USA is the American circuit of GFNY's timed road cycling races, where amateurs race each other and the clock on police-controlled courses, and every race feeds the Road to NYC, which ends at the GFNY World Championship New York City with riders from more than 90 countries starting together on the lower level of the George Washington Bridge. The 2026-27 circuit runs Pittsburgh-Monroeville, Cambridge in Maryland and Hardee County in Florida in the fall, then Miami, Ventura and Walnut Creek in the spring, before New York in May. GFNY designs, owns and operates its races and runs its own registration, results and global ranking system; its worldwide platform takes in more than 30 events in 20 countries. On site Every race runs the same way: riders get the right of way at police-controlled intersections, chip timing from start to finish with overall and age-group rankings, fully supported aid stations, rolling and stationary mechanical support, medical and sweep vehicles, and professional race photography, and they finish to a post-race meal and a beer. The courses differ. Miami in 2026 ran 83.9 km on a highway closed to traffic with 7 meters of climbing, the flattest on the calendar, from the Miccosukee Resort and Casino at the edge of the Everglades. Pittsburgh's course climbs 2,652 meters in 128.6 km, Maryland rolls 148.7 km past the Chesapeake Bay in Dorchester County, and New York covers 137 km with 1,945 meters of climbing through Bergen County, New Jersey, and Rockland County, New York. Audience These are racers who train for it. GFNY describes them as competitive, dedicated professionals who fit athletic goals around demanding careers. They chase results across a season: each race feeds a global ranking, strong finishes qualify riders for the elite corral in New York, and a multi-finisher medal rewards riders who complete several events. Talent and Influencers In 2026 the New York race added a professional field: the Gran Premio New York City, a UCI 1.2 race with about 120 riders from 20 teams, started ten minutes ahead of the mass field on the same course, and APS Pro Cycling by Team Cadence Cyclery was among the teams confirmed. Track record The New York race held its 14th edition in 2026. The same year Pittsburgh ran its second edition, Maryland its fourth and the Florida race its seventh. GFNY counts 2 million website views a year and a newsletter that goes out four times a month to 100,000 readers. Brand presence Michelob ULTRA carried the title on every U.S. race and the World Championship in 2026, and its beer is the post-race pour. Below the title, a presenting partner takes naming rights on an event, as in "GFNY Miami presented by," with its logo in a central position on the official race jersey, a large space at the race expos, announcer mentions, a hanging sign at the venue, a two-page ad in the race guides and use of its product during the races. A main sponsor gets a 10-by-10 expo space, the jersey logo, a full-page ad and the option of branded content in the event videos.
