Tour de CROWN returns: bigger, better, and bolder than ever.

Monday, June 2, 2025 by Caitlin Sparks

The Tour de CROWN returns on Saturday, August 23! Presented by Great Parks and Tri-State Trails, this all-abilities community bike ride highlights both existing and future trails in the CROWN’s expanding biking and walking network. Choose from three route distances, all starting and ending at Fifty West Brewing Company. Each route includes rest stops and on-route support from our incredible team of Tour de CROWN volunteers.

Your registration includes a post-ride burger and beverage from Fifty West, plus access to the Tour de CROWN Expo. Even better, proceeds support Tri-State Trails and our mission to improve the region’s trail and bikeway network. This ride is more than just a fun day on the bike—it’s a chance to experience Cincinnati’s trail transformation firsthand. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or just getting started, we invite you to ride, explore, and advocate with us. Help us grow the Tour de CROWN into the biggest and best ride in the region—register today and bring a friend!


Route Options for Every Rider

Whether you’re chasing a challenge or cruising with friends, we’ve got a route for you:

Tour de CROWN 34-Mile Route
8:00 AM start
Tackle the complete CROWN loop and experience both finished trails and key future connections. This route includes some iconic hills and on-road sections where the trail network is still growing. It’s the ultimate way to see our progress and what’s to come.

Tour de CROWN 17.5-Mile Route
9:00 AM start
Perfect for those who want to explore without going the full distance. This route blends scenic trail segments with light on-road riding, showcasing the evolution of our regional network.

Tour de CROWN 9-Mile Trail Route
9:30 AM start
A family-friendly, out-and-back cruise on the Little Miami Scenic Trail to the Beechmont Bridge Connector. It’s a relaxed, beautiful way to enjoy the day and be part of the celebration.

Safety First: Thanks to our partnerships with Columbia Township and the Village of Mariemont, we’ll close a lane of US 50/Wooster Pike during the event to ensure a safe and pleasant final stretch for 34-mile and 17.5-mile riders. In just a few years, this segment will be fully trail-connected!


New This Year: Experience Trail Progress in Action

Ride through exciting new connections like Wasson Way Phase 6B, which features a signalized crossing at Montgomery Road and a new path through Xavier University. Plus, enjoy the newly extended Murray Path in Mariemont. Each mile of the ride reflects the real-time progress of the CROWN vision—a connected Cincinnati powered by people like you.
