Skipstone’s Growler Road Race at Levi’s GranFondo is the richest single-day road race in the world. This coming year, even better coverage and a minimum $156,000 prize purse, split equally between men’s and women’s elite fields is on tap. Also new: in line with our commitment to being the goodest road race, all cash prize winners are required to donate 2% of their winnings to King Ridge Foundation or to an approved charitable organization that supports at-risk-youth.
Alongside the elite fields, we’re adding a new age-group podium presentation for riders who want to compete on the same course. If your elite application isn’t accepted, you will still have the opportunity of racing for a podium spot in the Open field, with categories across age and gender. Elite and Open fields will start separately.
If you are not seeking to start with the elite field, but still want to race, then you do not need to apply -- just head to the registration form for the Gran Fondo, and simply sign up.
It’s time — the application window for the 2026 Skipstone’s Growler Road Race is officially open. If you're seeking an elite staging spot, this is what you need to do next:
For experienced competitors seeking one of just 180 elite spots, submit your application here.
Submitting an application does not guarantee entry; all entries are thoroughly reviewed by our team. If not selected, you’ll still be eligible to compete in the Open field on the same course.
Once accepted, you’ll receive a unique access code to complete your registration. Please note: spots not claimed by the registration deadline will be forfeited.
Good luck, and we’ll see you on the start line!
The current rates for the Growler, Gran, Geysers, and Medio routes will increase after Black Friday, November 28th. If you want to take advantage of our current registration prices, don't wait!
