A region to explore

Thonon-les-Bains and its surrounding region joining the Geneva Lake and the mountains of the Alps, are gorgeous and rich in sites to visit. Why not come for the event, stay an extra a day or two and explore?

Christophe Arminjon,

Mayor of Thonon-les-Bains

Since 2020, our priority has been to encourage the practice of sport in all its forms and for the benefit of as many people as possible, given that sport is a vehicle for social cohesion and personal fulfilment.

Cycling adds an extra dimension by giving exceptional visibility to the areas it crosses.
That's why, in line with the efforts made by the Haute-Savoie department, which will be hosting the World Cycling Championships in 2027, the town of Thonon-les-Bains wanted to create its own cyclosportive.

And it was only natural that we should turn to Sébastien Médan and his team to organise it. Over the years, the Thonon cycling race® has established itself as a key event of the season, attracting an ever-increasing number of participants.

So I'm proud to welcome you to Thonon-les-Bains on 3 and 4 May 2025 and to help you discover or rediscover the magnificent landscapes that surround us.
I look forward to seeing many of you at the start and wish you every success in your chosen event and, above all, lots of fun on our roads.
Sincerely

Sébastien Medan,

Président Chablais Léman Sport Organisation

For the 4th edition of the event, 1900 cyclists (re)discovered a picture-postcard setting between lake and mountains. The level of participation was as high as ever, after a historic 2023 edition that served as ‘preparation’ for the Etape du Tour by ASO... The Organising Committee is delighted to see the event become a permanent fixture, promoting the local economy, sport and tourism. In the colours of the event, cyclists from 30 nations and 60 French departments were incredibly well represented.

The festivities were once again punctuated by the presence of an iconic patron, Laurent Jalabert, who was fit and available, as well as an extraordinary endowment from our partners. Thank you to all those involved: elected representatives, partners, volunteers and service providers, without whom nothing would be possible. We are delighted to be able to continue our mission of development in 2025 and to make the Thonon Cycling Race a wonderful vehicle for cohesion and communication.

Happy winter preparations!
