3 cycling, fun run, and running events in Vienna, Illinois

Bike the wonderful Tunnel Hill State Trail starting in Vienna, Illinois (Routes: 10 miles, 20 miles, and 40 miles). See amazing sights, old railroad trestles, and even a 500+ foot train tunnel you can ride through on the 20 and 40-mile routes. This ride is presented by Revive Vienna.

The ride will start at 9:30 AM. Try to arrive an hour early to sign the waiver and get your t-shirt. We will let the 40-mile group start first, then after a few minutes the 20-mile group will start, and then after them, the 10-mile group will start.

The trail has two-way traffic - make sure you ride in a straight line to let others pass coming from the opposite direction. This is a ride, not a race. This is not a timed event.

The ride is an out-and-back event. For each mileage-based ride, we will have signs telling you where to turn around. There will be two SAG stops: one for the 20-mile rides and another for the 40-mile rides.

Please exercise caution at intersections where the road crosses the trail, as vehicles may be passing over it.

Please wear a helmet and bring plenty of drinking water.

Register early to receive a t-shirt and get a lower price.

The prices will increase $5 after May 10. An additional increase of $5 will occur on the day of the ride.

A t-shirt will likely not be available after May 10 or on the Ride Day. There are no refunds for this ride.
