Tour de Bodock Bicycle Rides 2026

Tour de Bodock Bicycle Rides in Pontotoc, Mississippi on October 10th, 2026 will benefit the Beautiful Tanglefoot Trail®. The event offers something for everyone with distances ranging from a challenging Metric Century to a casual 10K.
The race takes place along the scenic Tanglefoot Trail®, winding through the picturesque woods and countryside of North Mississippi. Race morning promises cooler weather, ideal for cycling enthusiasts as October temperatures average around 19 degrees Celsius, with humidity at 65.8%. The course is marked by firm yet slightly soft terrain that requires careful navigation.
This year marks its seventh iteration since it began in 2020, and organizers are expecting a large turnout of participants who support the local community through funds raised for the Beautiful Tanglefoot Trail®. In previous years, the event has brought together over 500 cyclists to enjoy both challenging and leisurely routes.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, there's the Metric Century (100K or 62 miles) with two course options: one flat with gentle slopes and another that presents several steep hills. For a more relaxed ride, the Half Metric Century (50k or 31 miles) is perfect. Both these courses will be well marked by volunteers who are on hand to assist riders as needed.
The 20-mile route offers an intermediate challenge, while the 10K (6.2 miles) caters to those looking for a more manageable distance but still with all the fun of cycling through the trail's scenic beauty. Each course will have aid stations stocked with water and snacks, ensuring riders are well hydrated.
