Finally! We are proud to announce the route for the 2022 Tour of Minnesota!
We're biking roughly 315 miles through the land of Paul Bunyan and the birthplace of the Mississippi River at Itasca State Park!
Sat., June 18 (meet in Brainerd at the Crow Wing County Fairgrounds)
Sun., June 19 (Brainerd to Walker) ~63 miles
Mon., June 20 (Walker to Park Rapids and back) 25-60 mile options
Tue., June 21 (Walker to Bemidji) ~39 miles
Wed., June 22 (Bemidji to Park Rapids via Itasca State Park) ~63 miles
Thu., June 23 (REST DAY in Park Rapids)
Fri., June 24 (Park Rapids to Staples) ~52 miles
Sat., June 25 (Staples back to Brainerd) ~38 miles
The route will be about half biking trails (including the Paul Bunyan, Heartland, and Shingobee Trails) and half county roads. That adds up to a whole lot of fun! Note: mileage and route subject to change.
Registration is $499, which includes nightly campsites, a commemorative shirt, 10+ meals, rest stop snacks, maps, and endless memories. Ride limited to 200 riders and has sold out within one week each of the last four years.
COVID Update (as of Jan. 1, 2022): In 2021, we successfully navigated 165+ people through the pandemic with minimal impact on the riders, staff, and event. Our guiding principle was that we agreed to honor the policies/expectations from the places we held contracts with in our host cities. We will continue to do that this year, and expect to have another fun and safe event. Vaccinations are not required, but encouraged.
