Whether you're a weekend recreational rider, a seasoned cyclist, or an adventurer looking for a new challenge, Greenbelt’s annual Tour de Greenbelt offers routes for every skill level — all while winding through the stunning landscapes of Essex County and supporting local land conservation.
Every dollar raised for Tour de Greenbelt helps conserve local land!
Thank you to everyone who rode and everyone who fundraised for our 2025 event! We look forward to seeing you in 2026!
Tour de Greenbelt offers untimed routes that can be enjoyed at a rider’s own pace — a half-century (50 miles) and a recreational route (25 miles) on paved roads, and two Gravel Grinder options with off-road excursions into protected forests and reservations. The ride begins at 9:00 am at Allyn Cox Reservation, 82 Eastern Ave., Essex. Please arrive before 8:45 as our driveway is narrow, so we close it at 8:45 to stage the cyclists without having to contend with vehicles.
Riders enjoy cycling past more than 50 of Greenbelt’s protected properties, venturing into state forests, traversing farmland, then returning to Cox Reservation for food & drink from A&B Burgers & True North Ales (stay tuned for a special announcement about their offerings!), and live music under the Big Tent.
