We are excited to announce the return on the Perth Hills Gran Fondo after a hiatus due to the pandemic. The Perth Hills Gran Fondo has its roots from the City of Armadale Grand Fondo which historically is the first ever Gran Fondo ever held in Western Australia and thus no new arrival to the scene of community participation events.
This ride sees the introduction of three category of rides which transverse through the Perth Hills covering Kalamunda, Gooseberry Hill, Boya, Darlington, Mundaring, Carmel and Pickering Brook, all commencing for the same great start location, the Hills Emporio in Karragullen.
For 2024 we will be the first ever Cycling event in Western Australia that will bring awareness, attention and action to working to resolve the dilemma of people who are homeless. Our nominated charity is Street Friends WA and a specific component of fund raising in addition to your registration fee is an option which we sincerely hope you will take a proactive stance.
There will be different ways by which you can fund raise, the most efficient being asking for $1 for every 1 km that you ride. All funds from the specific fund raising component of this event, less on-line fees, will go to Street Friends WA and we will provide open accountability on the funds raised and the practical applications of this fund raising..

The Perth Integrated Events Team is proud to be associated with Simon Leske and the Hills Emporio for the 2024 Perth Hills Gran Fondo. This is not their first involvement as they have been also very supportive in recent years for our rebranded City of Armadale Grand Fondo which also saw the Hills Emporio as the Event Village then as it will be for 2024.
The Hills Emporio is no stranger to the community of Cyclists as this safe haven for cyclists is our preferred respite / hydration and nutrition stop for rides between the City of Kalamunda and the City of Armadale and for the 2024 Perth Hills Gran Fondo – they will not only be the designated Event Village, they will also supply via their commercial kitchen the Hot Drinks and Food as part of the Registration Ticket for every registered participant of this event in April 2024.
Make the Hills Emporio your preferred solo or bunch ride stop and do remember that it is also an excellent fuelling station for your vehicles and for your stock of great wines in the Perth Hills.
