The 23rd Annual Tour of the Litchfield Hills is on for Sunday, August 2nd.

As many of you know, the Tour is a charity ride to benefit The Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills Inc. Over the past twenty-two years, the Tour has raised well over $1,600,000 to help cancer victims and their families deal with the ravages of cancer.

The Tour will be fully supported with SAG wagons and rest stops. All of the roads are paved. The Tour routes will take you on scenic, lightly travelled rural roads and through historic villages. There will be our traditional free picnic held at the end of the ride. The first 700 people who register receive a free t-shirt. The Tour is held rain or shine!

Some important things to note are:

  • The registration fee is $50 if you register online by July 15th. Starting July 16th, the registration fee goes up to $55.

  • If you raise $1,500 or more in donations, you will receive a free Tour bike jersey.

  • Because the Tour is the primary fund-raising event for the Cancer Care Fund of the Litchfield Hills, all registrations are non-refundable.

  • Before you start your ride or walk you must check in at the registration desks at Coe Park - even if you have pre-registered.

  • We encourage you to form teams. Check our website for details.

We encourage you to collect additional donations from friends, family, biking buddies, random strangers, etc. You can make additional donations on this site or go to www.Pledgereg.com.

Tour bike jerseys will be able for sale at the Tour. Cash, checks and credit cards will be accepted.

Check out our webpage - www.tourofthelitchfieldhills.com - for routes, elevations, photos and other information on the Tour. In planning which route to ride, please note that sag support and rest stops will end at 4 pm.

Stay safe! Bike a lot! And we will see you on Sunday August 2nd at Coe Park in Torrington!
