A-VELO | Lélex - Pays de Gex Cyclosportive (Lélex - Pays de Gex cycling sportive)

The A-VELO | Lélex - Pays de Gex Cyclosportive takes place in Lélex on Sunday 26 July 2026 and showcases high Jura and Alpine scenery with views towards Mont Blanc. The event advertises two parcours that traverse mountain roads and forested sections regularly used by professional races, featuring the ascents of the Côte de Lajoux, Côte de Giron and Col de Menthières. Participants will find formal timing on both routes, two feed stations, approved marshals and motorbike support, and time cut-offs at key checkpoints to manage safety and race flow.

The event aims to blend conviviality and performance with categories for men, women and a separate classification for electrically assisted bikes (VAE). Registration includes a local meal (Gexiflette) and a finisher medal, and the day finishes with prize giving for category winners. The setting in the Pays de Gex near the Swiss border is emphasised throughout the organiser materials as one of the event's main attractions.
