GranFondo Badlands

The Drumheller Valley is one with a rich and unique heritage. The dinosaur capital of the world, and some of the most iconic landscapes you will ever encounter. Located a little NE of Calgary, the Gran Fondo Badlands travels 162 km, 100 km, 75 km or 50 km through the heart of the stunning hoodoos and mighty Red Deer River.

You’re going to have a truly epic experience, passing through prehistoric and picturesque hoodoos and through the lush river valley.
