Adventure Awaits in Every Mile: Kawartha Lakes Classic

Get ready to ride in one of Southern Ontario’s most inspiring cycling events — the 23rd Annual Kawartha Lakes Classic Cycling Tour. This isn’t just an amazing ride — it’s a movement! A celebration of community, compassion, and the sheer joy of cycling through the stunning landscapes of Kawartha Lakes.

Why It Matters

Last year, over 170 riders pedaled with purpose, raising more than $44,000 to support A Place Called Home - an emergency shelter in Lindsay, ON that provides hope and housing for those experiencing homelessness in Kawartha Lakes and Haliburton County. Every kilometer you ride helps change lives.

What’s Waiting for You

  • Variety of scenic routes for all skill levels, crafted by members of the Kawartha Cycling Club to maximize fun

  • Fully supported routes with refreshment-stocked rest stops and motorcycle support for rider safety

  • Complimentary lunch from Boston Pizza - Lindsay to refuel and reconnect

  • Comfortable venue at the Oakwood Lion’s Mariposa Community Hall in Oakwood, ON

  • Friendly faces, community spirit, and unforgettable memories

Fundraising incentives that celebrate your impact!

Participants who raise or donate $150 will earn a lightweight, long‑sleeve Kawartha Lakes Classic shirt. Every dollar goes to A Place Called Home to support those experiencing homelessness in our community.

Whether you're riding solo, with family, or as part of a team — this is your chance to make an impact while doing what you love.

Let’s ride for A Place Called Home!

    Race Kit Pick Up

    As we grow, we need to change how we manage race day and want to make race day as seamless as possible for everyone involved, including you!

    Please arrange to pick up your race kit at one of our kit pick up options ahead of race day, or have a friend or family member pick it up for you. If none of that is possible, you may purchase the mail-out option (deadline April 6th!) where your bib number will be mailed to your address (please make sure your address is correct in race roster!!)

    You may arrange for a friend to pick up your kit for you, provided you signed your waiver when you registered and they you have given them permission by email (that they can show us) to pick up for you.

Runners should carry their own nutrition and deposit any garbage at the aid stations. Please do not leave your garbage on the road anywhere else along the course - the community supports this event and we want to keep it that way. Be respectful and keep your garbage on you until you get to an aid station, you can leave it there. Portable toilets will be available at each aid station and at the half marathon turn around.

    Self-Serve Aid Station for Marathon ONLY

    Marathoners may choose to bring their own ‘special needs’ bag that will be placed on a table on the course after the half-way turn around. This will be a self-serve table only! Bags clearly marked with bib numbers may be left on the drop off table beside athlete registration on race morning for volunteers to bring out to the self-serve station after the race has begun.

    *The cut-off time is 3 hours 30 minutes after the start of the half marathon.

    Race Kit / Bib Numbers

    Everyone MUST have a bib number and timing chip in order to take part in the event. This comes with your registration and pick up locations are listed below.

    Race day Kit Pick up is available ONLY for those who have purchased the VIP Kit Pick Up Ticket through race roster (available through the "store" link)

    Mail out race kits are also available for those who wish to get their bib mailed to them. People who choose this option will pick up their event T-shirt on race day. This option can be purchased through race roster during registration or through the "store" link afterwards.

    Three Options for Kit Pick-up

    Lindsay - Monday June 8 4:00 - 7:00 pm @ Crossfit Lindsay, 205 St George Street, Lindsay

    Toronto - Thursday June 11 4:00 - 7:00 pm @ Culture Athletics, 972 Queen St E, Toronto

    You may arrange for a friend to pick up your kit for you, provided you signed your waiver when you registered and you have given them permission by email (that they can show us) to pick up for you.

    Aid Stations

    There will be aid stations serving water and XACT electrolyte drink approximately every 2.5 - 3.0 km on the course. There will be no gels or other nutrition available. Runners should carry their own nutrition and deposit any garbage at the aid stations. Please do not leave your garbage on the road or anywhere else along the course - the community supports this event and we want to keep it that way. Be respectful and keep your garbage on you until you get to an aid station, where you can dispose it. Portable toilets will be available at each aid station and at the half marathon turn around.

    Race Day Parking

    DO NOT TRY AND DRIVE RIGHT TO THE RACE SITE. You may be stuck and not be able to get out. Park off site and walk in.

    Option A - A generous amount of parking is available on race day at the Fenelon Falls Community Centre, 27 Veterans Way, Fenelon Falls, K0M 1N0. It is a 20 minute walk to Garnet Graham Beach Park, past White Cottage Cafe and Tim Hortons and over the bridge with a spectacular view of the famous falls over Lock #34.

    Option B & C - There are a few lots available in the ‘downtown’ area of Fenelon Falls closer to Garnet Graham Beach Park with access off Francis Street or Bond Street, and some street parking. Traffic may become backed up along these streets so be patient. Please do NOT try to access the parking at Garnet Graham Beach Park or drop off runners by passing through as the lot is reserved for crew, volunteers, race vehicles and vendors.

    Note: Do NOT try and access Garnet Graham Park via Water Street. Sometimes your GPS will take you that way - Water Street is a DEAD END and you CANNOT park there - and you may get stuck in there as there is not much space to turn around and have traffic going both ways. So do NOT turn onto Water Street in Fenelon Falls at any time.

    Please expect a LOT of traffic coming into town on race day and plan to arrive EARLY and stay calm.

    Hotels

    There are many types of accommodations in the Fenelon Falls and Lindsay area. There are hotels, cottage resorts, and cottage rentals.
