BOHOL, PHILIPPINES | May 29 2025 – The province of Bohol
once again served as the dynamic backdrop for the Giro d’Luca, a three-day,
non-competitive cycling celebration held from May 23 to 25, 2025. Covering
close to 500 kilometers, the event brought cyclists through a scenic journey across
Panglao, Loboc, the famed Chocolate Hills, and other iconic locations across
the province.
Now in its twelfth
year, the Giro d’Luca has grown from a private birthday ride into a well-loved
regional cycling tradition. It was first launched in 2012 by Gianluca
Guidicelli, a restaurateur, entrepreneur, and multisport athlete, as a way to
share his passion for health, community, and the natural beauty of the
Philippines.
This year’s Giro
d’Luca continued its intimate format, welcoming a close-knit group of family
members and friends who share a deep appreciation for cycling and the outdoors.
Unlike a competitive race, the Giro d’Luca focuses on the experience of
bringing riders together to foster camaraderie while enjoying some of the
country's most stunning routes.
"Celebrating life and community has always been at the heart of the Giro
d' Luca. For over a decade, it's been incredible to see this passion for
cycling grow among fellow athletes. We hope to keep that spirit alive on the
roads of Bohol for many years to come," said Gianluca Guidicelli, founder
of the Giro d’Luca.
The 2025 edition of Giro d’Luca was made possible through the support of valued
partners, with The Bellevue Resort Bohol
and Bluewater Panglao Beach Resort
serving as official hotel partners, providing exceptional hospitality and
comfort to cyclists throughout the event. Nature’s
Spring also returned as the official hydration partner, ensuring
participants stayed refreshed and supported across every leg of the scenic
ride.
Following the success
of this year’s edition, the Giro d’Luca is set to return to Bohol in May 2026.
