Tour de La Porte 2026: Move for More

Every Mile Builds A Stronger Community!

Tour de La Porte is more than a walking, running, and cycling event—it’s a powerful weekend of movement with purpose. Families, friends, and fitness enthusiasts come together to support the La Porte County Family YMCA and the vital programs that strengthen our community.

Every step, stride, and pedal fuels life-changing impact—helping kids discover confidence, families build healthy habits, and neighbors access inclusive, equitable programs that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.

Thanks to the dedication of our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, Tour de La Porte continues to grow its impact each year. In 2025, the event raised more than $64,000 to support programs that improve health, connection, and opportunity across La Porte County.

In 2026, we invite you to move with purpose, rally your team, and help create lasting change. Join us—and turn your passion into progress for La Porte County.

Chupacabra, in Latin American popular legend, a monstrous creature that attacks animals and consumes their blood. The name is derived from the Spanish words chupar (“to suck”) and cabra (“goat”) and can be translated as “goat-sucker.” As a fearsome but probably nonexistent creature, the chupacabra has been characterized as the southern equivalent of the Sasquatch.

This endurance event just might “chupar” the life of you. Please join us if you dare!
