Marana Rotary Tour De Cookie Bike Ride
2024-03-09 08:00 - 12:00 | Rillito Park, 4502 N. 1st Ave, Tucson, AZ, 85718
he 2024 event is coming together. The route is set. Shirts, wristbands, and bags are being ordered. Booth volunteers are being finalized. Sponsorships are coming in. I can’t wait for March 9, 2024!!!
Last year, we had to close rider registrations early because we hit our 400-rider cap. This year, we are preparing our booths to be ready for 500 riders. So please, register soon to guarantee your spot in the Tour.
The 2024 route was adjusted because of construction on The Loop path northwest toward Marana. However, I am excited that this year’s route takes riders northeast toward Oro Valley and back.
Riders will have several options:
Start at Rillito Racetrack and ride 12 miles, turning around at El Camino de la Tierra cookie booth.
Want a few more cookies? Add a section along CDO Wash.
Want to start your ride in Oro Valley? Saddle up at Steam Pump Ranch and ride along the Canada del Oro for a 17.5 mile-ride to the racetrack.
To maximize calorie replacement, ride all 33.5 miles of the Tour de Cookie. It should be a blast!!
