GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Michigan State University College of Human Medicine officials announced the return of its non-competitive cycling event.

Registration details for MSU Gran Fondo 8 will be announced in the coming weeks. In the meantime, event organizers continue their work with MSU health and public health experts to ensure the health and safety of all involved with the even. More information can be found on their website.

“We are very pleased to welcome back our riders for another fun experience with friends and family,” said Aron Sousa, MD, interim dean, MSU College of Human Medicine. “This year we have the added draw of Art Prize downtown during Gran Fondo 8 and we look forward to sharing details soon.”
