CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo (4M-150M) - Jun 20, 2026 | Sandpoint, ID

The CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo, set for Saturday, June 20, 2026, invites cyclists to experience an unparalleled ride through the breathtaking landscapes surrounding Sandpoint, Idaho, celebrated as one of the "Most Beautiful Small Towns in the USA". Consistently named one of the top charity rides in the U.S. and among the country's most scenic cycling events, the CHAFE 150 offers an unforgettable day of challenge, camaraderie, and stunning views. Participants can choose from a wide array of distances, including road routes of 150, 80, 40, and 25 miles, or tackle the gravel options of 75 and 55 miles. There's even a 4-mile Family Fun Ride, ensuring an inclusive event for all abilities.

The signature 150-mile route is a grand loop around the majestic Cabinet Mountains, a frontal range of the Rocky Mountains, traversing gorgeous lake and river valleys across Idaho and Montana. This demanding course features two short, steep climbs with grades up to 18% and 8% out of Bonners Ferry, ID, and Troy, MT, and is recommended for experienced riders. Shorter road routes, like the 40 and 25 miles, wind through the picturesque Selle Valley, offering incredible views of mountains and forests. For those seeking adventure off the pavement, the 75 and 55-mile gravel routes climb through the scenic Cabinet Mountains on winding forest service roads, providing striking vistas. Riders can expect fully stocked aid stations and professional support throughout their journey. Typical race day conditions in late June bring comfortable highs around 75°F and lows around 45°F, with only a 10% chance of precipitation.

Beyond the miles, the CHAFE 150 Gran Fondo stands out for its profound philanthropic impact. Organized by the Sandpoint Rotary since 2008, the event has raised over $1 million for local youth education programs, directly supporting the "Every Student Graduates a Reader" initiative for the Lake Pend Oreille School District. All rides commence and conclude at Sandpoint City Beach Park, culminating in an epic after-ride party where participants celebrate their achievements and contributions. Cyclists frequently praise the CHAFE 150, with many declaring it "one of the best rides they have ever ridden," highlighting the exceptional organization, breathtaking scenery, and powerful sense of community and purpose.
