Come Join us for Tour de Guelph – Sunday June 28, 2026
Once again, the Rotary Clubs of Guelph South and Guelph Trillium are teaming up to host the annual Tour de Guelph community cycling event. Over it’s 12-year history, Tour de Guelph has become the largest annual cycling event in Guelph, and an important fundraiser. Tour de Guelph is an all ages and abilities cycling event, and definitely not a race. There are routes from 5 kms to 113 km. Something for everyone.
Through a unique partnership, funds raised through Tour de Guelph help support The Foundation of Guelph General Hospital, as well as other local and international charitable programs of the Rotary Clubs of Guelph South and Guelph Trillium. In 2025, funds raised for Guelph General Hospital helped fund the construction and equipment costs for the new Speedvale Campus diagnostic imaging centre, including a much-needed second MRI for our community. 2026 proceeds will help with the 2nd phase of the Speedvale campus, specifically the new fracture clinic. Tour de Guelph is how members of Guelph Trillium and Guelph South support quality patient care in our community, as well as a number of other critical local and international causes.
Last year’s Tour de Guelph was the largest and most successful ever. We welcomed a record-breaking 850 riders on a very hot Sunday in June 2025. Not only did the riders beat the heat (with the help of the volunteers at our many rest stops), but they smashed our fundraising goals. We raised a record breaking $226,500. 2026 is shaping up to be even bigger and better!
If you would like to know more about Tour de Guelph, the various ride options, and how to get involved either as a rider or a volunteer, visit www.tourdeguelph.ca Why not talk to some of the other cyclist in your club and form a team to cycle together! We would love to have you join us for a safe and enjoyable ride through Guelph and the surrounding countryside.
