Step into the heart of Kool-Aid's birthplace as you pedal through its picturesque countryside during the 25th anniversary edition of the Kool-Aid Classic Bicycle Tour. This year, the tour offers a variety of routes to cater to all levels: 20 miles for those seeking a leisurely ride; 30 and 60-mile options for more ambitious cyclists; and an adventurous 50-mile gravel route that winds through rolling hills on less maintained roads. The paved sections are fully supported, ensuring you have access to rest stops at regular intervals. These stops offer refreshments and assistance should you need it. For the intrepid riders opting for the 50-mile gravel challenge, two strategically placed rest areas will provide a welcome respite from the terrain’s undulations. For early birds who register by August 6, 2026, at midnight, a complimentary t-shirt is included in your entry fee. Late registrations do not come with this perk. Make sure to arrive on Saturday morning, August 15, between 7:00 and 7:45 am for check-in. The Highland Park shelter, located behind the Hastings Museum at 14th & Burlington Street, will serve as your gathering point. A brief meeting is scheduled before the start of the event to cover essential information and safety guidelines. The race commences sharp at 8:00 am from the parking lot adjacent to the museum. Get ready for an unforgettable journey through landscapes that tell the story of Kool-Aid, all while enjoying a day filled with camaraderie and natural beauty.
