Tour de Kirkwood Triathlon

The BEER & BAGEL OFF-ROAD RACE SERIES is coming back to St. Louis! This is a favorite event for runners throughout the area, who come each year for a challenging trail run with a fantastic post-race party. Of course, there will be plenty of free bagels and beer. And the legendary race shirt, too – a long-sleeve tech shirt with “I’m a Drinker with a Running Problem” printed across the back. The event is supported by Fit4adventure Touring Company!

We will be utilizing the Smith Shelter with entrance of Weidman Road.

Come for the pedal and stay for the peaches! Peach Pedal is hosted in conjunction with the Downtown Kirkwood Sidewalk Sale and Kirkwood Farmer’s Market Peach Festival, so after your ride, stick around to enjoy peach treats and support local Kirkwood small businesses.

Kirkwood, MO, was the first planned suburb west of the Mississippi, designed with the railroads in mind to offer city workers a peaceful retreat. Named after civil engineer James Pugh Kirkwood, the town’s grid-patterned streets, tree-lined avenues, and welcoming sidewalks make it an ideal location for cyclists and pedestrians alike. Its vibrant charm and rich history create the perfect backdrop for a memorable cycling experience.

Choose from three route options tailored for every type of cyclist — from beginners to seasoned pros. With full support along the way and post-ride festivities at the Peach Festival, this event is the perfect blend of active fun and local celebration.

This ride features the Gravois Greeenway on some routes.
