Start and Finish in Paradise
The start and finish area is located directly on the beach in the exclusive tourist Recreation Zone Pantai Tj. Pendam – in the heart of Tanjung Pandan, Belitung's capital city. Both distances start and finish at this stunning location.

A Course Built for Speed
The route is extremely fast, as significant climbs are virtually nonexistent. We'll keep the field together for the first two kilometers before reaching a wide four-lane road – two lanes are exclusively ours. This is where the race is released, and the battle for position begins.

The first loop leads into the southern part of the island and returns along the scenic west coast to Tanjung Pandan. After 66 kilometers, just before the city center, the routes split: The Medio Distance needs only four more kilometers to reach the finish line. The Long Distance, however, first heads east, then turns north to the north coast, and finally swings west into the finish area – after a total of 138 kilometers.

Dramatic Finish Guaranteed
With the flat profile, we expect a fast-paced race with large groups and a thrilling finale. To enable explosive final sprints, the finish line is positioned on a straight road, approximately 400 meters before the actual start/finish area. There, riders can roll out comfortably and receive their well-deserved medal.

LONG COURSE IS A COMPETITION: Only the finishers of the long course are eligible for category rankings and Overall and Podium awards. If you want to race and be ranked in your category, you must complete the long course. Top 10% of finishers in each age group earn a spot in the Qualifier Corral at every GFNY World event.

MEDIUM COURSE IS NOT A COMPETITION: The riders of the medium course will be provided their start-to-finish time, but will not be ranked by finish time. All finish times will be listed in alphabetical order.

THE JERSEY: All riders receive the official GFNY Belitung race jersey, which is mandatory attire at the race. The jersey is designed in NYC and Made in Italy.

CHIP TIMING: GFNY Belitung is a timed race. Each athlete has their own timing chip, which starts right after you cross the start line and stops when you cross the finish line. Timing results for all riders will be provided at the finish area on race day and online after the race.

FINISHER MEDAL: Every GFNY Belitung finisher receives a medal, no matter which distance they completed. All finishers also earn a “Finish” towards their 3x2026 GFNY medal or the 10x medal. Go to gfny.com/medals for more information on GFNY’s multi-finisher medals.
