World Champion & Gold Medalist Kikkan Randall joins the MSU Gran Fondo 7! Ride with gold medalist and cancer survivor on June 22.

At the Pyeongchang Olympics in 2018, Kikkan made history winning gold in cross-country skiing. Just three months later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Despite a grueling treatment of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery, Kikkan remained very active – running, cycling, weight lifting, hiking and more. She finished treatment earlier this year.

Kikkan is the president of Fast and Female USA and brand ambassador for L.L. Bean and AKTIV Against Cancer.

Meet the World Champion athlete who fought for the gold, then fought for her life.

Kikkan is joined by another special guest at MSU Gran Fondo 7. Five-time Tour de France veteran and NBC Sports cycling commentator Christian Vande Velde will also ride MSU Gran Fondo 7.
