After Hurricane Helene devastated parts of the southeastern US, organizers of the Gran Fondo Hincapie transformed the event into a hurricane recovery fundraiser aiming to raise $1 million for relief.
With the event retaining a new 19-mile loop strictly within Greenville County, public safety officials can focus on emergency services in hurricane-affected North Carolina.
Star cyclists like Mark Cavendish and Bradley Wiggins eagerly joined the Gran Fondo event, amplifying its appeal and fundraising efforts for hurricane relief efforts.
Rich Hincapie reported that the Gran Fondo has already raised $180,000 through grassroots efforts, with expectations to exceed $200,000 by the article's release.
