About La Mezza 300

La Mezza 300 is the Valnerina gran fondo: a non-competitive, free-ride cycling event that brings enthusiasts to pedal each year through the spectacular landscapes of this corner of Umbria, starting and finishing in Cascia. Suitable for road bikes and e-bikes, it offers multiple routes of varying lengths and gradients, designed for a day in the saddle discovering the villages and mountains of Valnerina.

Cycling in Valnerina

La Mezza 300 - Valnerina Gran Fondo is a non-competitive, free-ride cycling event, organised by ASD Sempresuipedali, starting and finishing in Cascia, in the province of Perugia, from Piazza San Francesco. Designed for those who want to spend a day in the saddle, it is suitable for road bikes and e-bikes and focuses on the beauty of the landscape rather than competition.

Multiple Routes Through Villages and Mountains

The event offers multiple routes of varying lengths and gradients — from the shortest, accessible to many, to the most challenging exceeding one hundred kilometers — that traverse the spectacular landscapes of Valnerina, through the villages, valleys, and mountains of this corner of Umbria. The routes are signposted and equipped with control points, with GPS tracks available for download.

A Day of Sport and Territory

More than a race, La Mezza 300 is an opportunity to discover the Valnerina territory and the Municipality of Cascia by bike, in a convivial atmosphere that brings together athletes, cycle tourists, and families. An event that enhances the outdoor vocation of an area of great naturalistic value in Umbria.
