Tour de Lebanon Valley — Saturday, June 13
The Tour de Lebanon Valley returns on Saturday, June 13, 2026, inviting cyclists of all ages and abilities to get out on the road and experience the rolling farmland, wooded hills, and historic charm that make Lebanon Valley such a joy to ride.
Starting and finishing at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center (80 Rocherty Rd., Lebanon, PA 17042), this beloved annual event features three thoughtfully designed routes—Metric Century, Mid-Distance Ride, and Family Ride—each showcasing the beauty of the region in its own way.
At its heart, the Tour de Lebanon Valley is about more than just miles. It’s a not-for-profit ride created by local organizations and supported by the community, with EVERY registration benefiting five Lebanon County–based nonprofits. Since 2019, more than 1,700 riders have taken part, helping raise over $85,000 to support community health, cycling access, conservation, and youth programming across the county.
