ABOUT
The Tour de CROWN returns on Saturday, August 29, 2026!
Organized by Tri-State Trails and presented by Great Parks, the Tour de CROWN is a community bike ride open to riders of all abilities. The event showcases existing and future trails throughout 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.

Choose from three distance options, all starting and ending at Fifty West Brewing Company. Each route features rest stops and rider support from Tour de CROWN volunteers.
Your registration includes a post-ride beverage (beer, soda, or milkshake), a delicious burger (veggie burgers included!) from Fifty West Brewing Company, and the lively Tour de CROWN Trail Expo!
Best of all: Proceeds support Tri-State Trails’ work for a more connected regional trail and bikeway network.
ROUTE OPTIONS
The Tour de CROWN has something for everyone; no matter your route, you will have a blast experiencing the trails.
The Great Parks Full CROWN (34-mi) — 8:00 AM Departure
Find your wild on this 34-mile ride through parks, neighborhoods, bikeways, and trail segments that make up the vision for the CROWN. This route offers a front-row seat to the progress already made and the work still ahead, with several on-road sections where trails are still under development.
The Fifty West Half CROWN (17.5-mi) — 9:00 AM Departure
This ride takes you along some of the most well-loved trails in the region, including the Little Miami Scenic Trail, Lunken Airport Loop, Delta Avenue Bikeway, Wasson Way, and Murray Path. The Half CROWN route primarily follows trails and bikeways, but there are some on-road sections where the CROWN is still in progress.
Thanks to our partners at Columbia Township and the Village of Mariemont, we’ll be able to close a lane of US 50/Wooster Pike during the event, making the final stretch of your ride safe, welcoming, and memorable.
Tour de CROWN Beechmont Connector Ride (8.5-mi) — 9:30 AM Departure
Whether you’re new to biking, riding with family, or simply savoring the ride, this scenic route along the Little Miami Scenic Trail offers a welcoming way to experience the CROWN. You’ll pedal to the Beechmont Bridge Connector, a key link made possible by Great Parks, then cruise back to Fifty West Brewing Company, where the Tour de CROWN Trail Expo will be buzzing with celebration.
TOUR de CROWN Jersey
Each year, the Tour de CROWN partners with a different local artist to create a one-of-a-kind event jersey that celebrates Cincinnati, community, and the spirit of the Tour de CROWN.
For 2026, we’re excited to collaborate with Jim Tucker Studio. Jim’s playful, people-centered illustrations bring the energy of the Tour de CROWN to life with a cast of joyful characters.
We love the personality and sense of fun Jim has brought to this year’s design, and we can’t wait to see riders wearing it out on the trails.
