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.
