Thank you to everyone who attended the second annual Tour de CROWN and post-ride Expo, presented by Great Parks! Your participation helped us bring the trail to life. Together, we created a vibrant ribbon of energy, demonstrating the incredible benefits of a connected and accessible pathway—enhancing recreation, transportation, quality of life, economic development, and more. Thanks to your engagement and the generosity of our sponsors, nearly 600 riders took to the trail, and we raised nearly $41,000 to support Tri-State Trails’ mission!
As our partners work to build and connect The CROWN, your participation in the Tour de CROWN plays a crucial role in advocating for more trails and bikeways, helping to shape the future of our region. With your support and our collective efforts, we look forward to a day when the entire Tour de CROWN will be connected by a seamless trail network!
