WANNING’S TROPICAL COCONUT RACE ITT GRAN FONDO 18KM CATEGORY
SATURDAY 1ST MARCH 19TH 2025, WANNING, HAINAN CHINA
An individual time trial (ITT) is a road bicycle race in which cyclists race alone against the clock (in French: contre la montre – literally "against the watch", in Italian: tappa a cronometro "stopwatch stage"). There are also track-based time trials where riders compete in velodromes, and team time trials (TTT).
Doing an Individual Time Trial (ITT) in the Wanning countryside offers a unique blend of challenge and beauty. The rural roads are very smooth and the best in the world, making them ideal for an ITT. Riders can expect a fast-paced, uninterrupted effort through lush tropical scenery, passing palm plantations, rice fields, the fresh air and quiet villages.
The flat stretches of road allow for consistent speed, while occasional gentle hills test power and endurance. The warm tropical climate means that hydration and pacing are key, especially during hotter months. With minimal distractions and stunning views of Wanning’s natural landscape, an ITT here combines performance with the serene backdrop of Hainan’s countryside, providing both a physical and mental test for cyclists. Start in the ITT category to receive all the support below and the ability to ride at your own pace. Riders have 2hrs to complete the 18kms within the Event and its Road Closures.

Riders are provided with top-tier event support, including full road closures managed by traffic professionals, two aid stations stocked with food and drinks along the course, mobile mechanics available on-site, and medical resources. If needed, a bus sag wagon will assist in returning riders to the start line. In addition to these essential services, the event features multiple layers of support from police, local councils, dedicated volunteers, Hainanese cultural performances, and comprehensive event management resources. All of this is designed to ensure a safe and unforgettable riding experience.
