ABOUT

The Tour de CROWN returns on Saturday, August 29, 2026!

Presented by Great Parks and Tri-State Trails, this community bike ride is open to riders of all abilities and highlights existing and future trails in the expanding Cincinnati Riding or Walking Network (CROWN).

Over the past three years, hundreds of riders have experienced the growing CROWN firsthand, pedaling through newly completed trail segments, discovering connections between neighborhoods they didn’t know existed, and helping build momentum for a more connected Cincinnati.

Choose from three distance options, all starting and ending at Fifty West Brewing Company. Each route features rest stops and rider support from Tour de CROWN volunteers.

Your registration includes a post-ride burger and beverage (beer, soda, or milkshake), plus access to the Tour de CROWN Expo.

Best of all: Proceeds support Tri-State Trails’ work for a more connected regional trail and bikeway network.


ROUTE OPTIONS

The Tour de CROWN has something for everyone; no matter your route, you will have a blast experiencing the trails.

The Great Parks Full CROWN (34-mi) — 8:00 AM Departure

Find your wild on this 34-mile ride through parks, neighborhoods, bikeways, and trail segments that make up the vision for the CROWN, powered by Great Parks of Hamilton County. This route offers a front-row seat to the progress already made and the work still ahead, with several on-road sections where trails are still under development.

The Fifty West Half CROWN (17.5-mi) — 9:00 AM Departure

This ride takes you along some of the most well-loved trails in the region, including the Little Miami Scenic Trail, Lunken Airport Loop, Delta Avenue Bikeway, Wasson Way, and Murray Path. The Half CROWN route primarily follows trails and bikeways, but there are some on-road sections where the CROWN is still in progress.

Tour de CROWN Beechmont Connector Ride (8.5-mi) — 9:30 AM Departure

Whether you’re new to biking, riding with family, or simply savoring the ride, this scenic route along the Little Miami Scenic Trail offers a welcoming way to experience the CROWN. You’ll pedal to the Beechmont Bridge Connector, a key link made possible by Great Parks, then cruise back to Fifty West Brewing Company, where the Tour de CROWN Expo will be buzzing with live music, food, drinks, and celebration.


TOUR de CROWN EXPO

After completing their rides, registered riders and volunteers can look forward to a well-earned reward: a complimentary beverage (beer, soda, or milkshake), a delicious burger from Fifty West Brewing Company, and the lively Tour de CROWN Expo!

The Tour de CROWN Expo is a free, family-friendly celebration of trails, biking, and community, open to the public and welcoming to trail enthusiasts of all ages.

Whether you come to ride, cheer, learn, or lounge, the Expo is the perfect place to connect with others, learn about local trail projects, discover ways to get involved, and soak up the energy of the Tour de CROWN.
