GFNY Uruguay - Colonia offers two options: a long-distance course of 125 km with 900 meters elevation gain and a medium-distance course of 87 km with 670 meters of elevation gain. The rolling terrain of Route 21 usually allows for a compact peloton until km 36, where the Rio San Juan climb acts as a natural selection point, splitting the front of the race. The typical coastal winds of Uruguay often play a key role and are an important factor in the race dynamics of GFNY Colonia.

Both routes pass through fields, olive groves, and vineyards, immersed in the rich and unique nature of the Uruguayan riverfront. This region preserves picturesque and historic settlements of European immigrants and is home to Uruguay’s finest dairy products, oils, and artisanal wines, all internationally recognized.
