The city of Bremen is located in Northern Germany, just over an hour from Hamburg and just over two from the Netherlands. It’s famously associated with the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale about the “Bremen Town Musicians” — a donkey, a dog, a cat, and a rooster who embark on a journey to the city. There’s a well-known statue in Bremen commemorating these characters, which has become one of the city’s most iconic symbols. It’s located within the beautifully preserved medieval city center.
Bremen was a member of the Hanseatic League, a powerful economic and defensive alliance of merchant guilds and market towns in Northern Europe from the late Middle Ages. This heritage still shapes Bremen’s economy and culture. Bremen is a large city with many facets - history, tradition, science, nature and culture - which combine to create an ever-fascinating experience.
Today, Bremen also excels for its cycling culture, with miles of bike lanes and a vibrant community of cyclists. Participants and spectators alike have the opportunity to explore Bremen’s rich history, cultural landmarks, and renowned hospitality, making GFNY Bremen not just a race, but a complete cycling
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 Bremen race jersey, which is mandatory attire at the race. The jersey is designed in NYC and Made in Italy.
CHIP TIMING: GFNY Bremen 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 will be available at gfny.cc/results.
FINISHER MEDAL: Every GFNY Bremen finisher receives a medal, no matter which distance they complete. All finishers also earn a “Finish” towards their 3x2025 GFNY medal or the 10x medal. Go to gfny.com/medals for more information on GFNY’s multi-finisher medals.
