August 20 – 23, 2009: Hundreds of cyclists will once again be pedaling through cottage country this summer in the sixth annual Tour For Kids event - on their way to raising much needed funds for children’s cancer camps in Ontario. This year, the goal is to raise $1 million, bringing the total fundraising over the past five years to $4.5M.
Ride Somewhere Meaningful with Tour For Kids Ontario and support childhood cancer. Join hundreds of compassionate cyclists for Tour for Kids, voted Best Cycling Event in Ontario for a 2 or 4 day fully supported adventure along carefully selected scenic roads through serene cottage country.
The primary route each day is a rewarding "Metric Century" distance of 100km. The ride is fully supported by patrol vehicles and cheerful tour marshals that ride along with each group of 10-15 cyclists. Several well-stocked rest stops dot the daily course to keep you in good form. For those looking to test their legs further, step up to the meandering "Century" of 100 miles (160km). Whatever your ability, you're sure to share the journey with someone traveling at your speed.
