FoCo Fondo was born from curiosity, adventure, and a humble brag about the amazing bike-centric community in Fort Collins, CO, in 2015. It was dreamt up by Zack Allison and Jake Arnold with Whitney Allison holding the rope those first couple years. At the end of 2019, Zack and Whitney made the full leap to the mixed terrain lifestyle and racing scene and founded Bike Sports. 2020 brought the opportunity to bring FoCo Fondo under the Bike Sports umbrella. As with all things Bike Sports, they are committed to offering an excellent adventure with as much guidance as you wish, pushing limits, and keeping things fun…and a little weird. Pushing to new limits of participation, racing, exploration, and general enjoyment of bike events and vacations by bike, we’re proud of our community, our event, and we can’t wait to share FoCo Fondo with you in 2024.

New for the 2025 season: Friends of FoCo Fondo, a 501(c)(3), will take leadership of the Leadership Program, Scholarship Programs, Clinics, Childcare, and Safe Routes to School donations in order to bring more stablity to these programs. Learn more about Friends of FoCo Fondo. FoCo Fondo will continue on with all additional Initiatives it has historically produced.
