60 km, 2,406 m of climbing: a true marathon challenge between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites, topping out at Prai da Gom (1,135 m).
Ronda Grande is the full marathon distance of the Garda Trentino Bike Marathon: 60 demanding kilometres with 2,406 metres of elevation gain and a high point at Prai da Gom (1,135 m). The race starts in the historic centre of Riva del Garda and heads inland through Varone, Cologna and Gavazzo, with constant views over Lake Garda. After Tenno and Ville del Monte, riders reach the turquoise waters of Lake Tenno before tackling the Terra Rossa forest road and Strada dei Bastiani to Vedesè.

At the Sella di Calino the course splits from Ronda Piccola and the real test begins: Vespana, the descent into Lomasona, Prial and the tough climb to San Silvestro demand smart pacing and strong legs. Malga Vigo (1,079 m) offers one of the most iconic views of the race, with the Brenta Dolomites and Adamello massif on the horizon. Via Pozza Bella and Gorghi the route reaches Prai da Gom, the highest point of the course.

A long descent leads to Dos del Clef, followed by the final climb to Bocca di Tovo and Calino. The finish follows the Ronda Piccola route: Rancion trail, Novino, Volta di Nò and a fast return to Riva del Garda.
