Event Information
The Tour de Boerne has earned its reputation as the fastest-growing charity bike ride in the Lone Star State. This event invites cyclists to conquer some of the most beautiful and demanding terrain in Texas. Known for its steep hills and epic panoramic views, the ride captures the true essence of the Texas Hill Country. Beyond the physical challenge, the event is celebrated for its friendly atmosphere and the warm hospitality of the local Boerne community.
As a premier charity event, the Tour de Boerne focuses on giving back to local non-profit organizations. Participants can expect a professional level of organization, from the mass start at Joshua Springs Park to the festive finish line celebration. Whether you are looking to test your climbing legs or simply want to enjoy the blooming wildflowers and rolling vistas, this ride offers an unforgettable experience for every athlete.
Ride Distances
The Tour de Boerne typically offers multiple route options designed to showcase the diverse topography of Kendall County:
- The Epic Route: Designed for experienced climbers, this route features significant elevation gain and the most challenging “steeps” the region has to offer.
- Intermediate Options: Perfect for riders looking for a balance of distance and scenery without the maximum vertical gain of the long course.
- Leisure Routes: Shorter distances that allow participants to enjoy the Hill Country charm and well-stocked rest stops at a more relaxed pace.
Support and Logistics
The ride is fully supported to ensure safety during the late June summer temperatures. Participants can expect:
- Rest Stops: Strategically placed stations featuring cold hydration, electrolytes, and a variety of snacks.
- Course Support: Professional SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles and mechanical assistance will be available along the well-marked routes.
- Joshua Springs Park: The venue provides a beautiful backdrop for the start and finish, with ample space for participants to gather and celebrate their achievements.
