From big races to Saturday morning group runs—find road events and connect with the local endurance sports community.
A great way to enjoy the last of summer's warm weather!
The Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour returns to raise funds to help support amenities for local Greenway trails! Show your love by joining us on Saturday, September 26, 2026, to ride in support of conservation!
With new road routes designed by 'Share the Road' for maximum rider safety and comfort, the Essex Region Conservation Bike Tour incorporates all the sights of summer, cycling facilities, quite neighbourhood streets and peaceful back roads!
Road cyclists will tour through picturesque county roads along the CWATS route through Colchester, Amherstburg, Essex and Leamington on your way to and from Kingsville!
Greenway riders will meander the safe, beautiful, off-road nature trails along the Chrysler Canada and Cypher Systems Group Greenways. Back by popular demand, all routes will begin and end at the lakeside Mettawas Park in Kingsville, and will include a delicious locally sourced lunch.
