‘We want to capture more than just one group’ – Multiple cameras, drones to relay live action from The Growler in April

A live broadcast for The Growler, part of Levi’s GranFondo, is the newest enticement for pros as well as fans in the second edition of the prize-rich, 137-mile one-day US race, scheduled for April 19. The final two to three hours of the race will be shown live with multiple cameras following the action for both the elite women and the elite men and will be available for free on the race website via the YouTube channel feed.

Last year, a cash purse of $55,000 caught the attention of many top riders for The Growler, the longest of five distances offered at Levi’s GrandFondo. This year bigger checks will be handed out from a $156,000 purse, split evenly among the top 10 from the elite men’s and women’s divisions.
