About the Tour de CROWN

Presented by Great Parks, the Tour de CROWN is a ride for all abilities, featuring existing and proposed trails in the CROWN’s expanding biking and walking network. Three distance options will start and end at Fifty West Brewing Company, right off the Little Miami Scenic Trail. Each route will feature rest stops and rider support from Reser Bicycle Outfitters and Tour de CROWN volunteers.

Registration includes a post-ride burger and beer from Fifty West and the Tour de CROWN Expo along the trail. Best of all – the proceeds from this ride benefit Tri-State Trails and the advocacy work we do on behalf of our regional trail and bikeway network!
