Event Overview:
On Friday evening, July 14th, 2006 the Giro di Burnaby, an event born from the idea of city councilor Pietro Calendino, made its debut on the streets of the Burnaby Heights Neighbourhood.
The event, so named as a tribute to Burnaby’s Italian community and to the world famous Giro d’Italia (the second largest and richest cycling race in the world) saw 63 men and 24 women finishing the inaugural race to a cheering crowd of approximately 7,000 spectators.
Since then the event has grown exponentially in size and reputation, attracting professional cycling teams from around the globe, and spectators in the thousands each and every year.
