Tour de Bier returns for 2026

This is a yearly bicycle tour of Kansas City's breweries, supporting Head for the Cure in the fight against Brain Cancer.  Funds raised through this year's event will locally benefit Solace house, Path to Hope, and other national brain cancer programs, education and initiatives. 

The tour starts on Sunday, June 29th at Liberty Memorial Park, 30 W. Pershing Road, KCMO. This is a leisurely, and I mean leisurely, non-timed bike ride through urban Kansas City.  This year, riders can choose between a 15, 30 and 50-mile ride feature stops at local breweries.  Riders can sample beer at each stop as a bonus caloric intake!  Last year's event was a washout but that didn't stop cyclist from enjoying beer joint SAGs and still log in the miles.  There typically is a party after the ride where you can enjoy some more cold ones, chill out with your fellow riders and swap stories about the ride.

Registration is currently open

You can register as an individual or as a team.
Right now, early registration is $50 per individual which includes a commemorative t-shirt, lunch, two drink tickets for the after-party, and samples of Kansas City's best breweries.
