Michael Barr won’t be at the 42nd El Tour de Tucson, but he will be…
We love our nonprofits! Come join in on El Tour experience – new ones are coming on frequently
We’re gearing up for the 42nd El Tour de Tucson and, boy, has it been busy three months into our registration.
Since mid-April, we’ve had more than 4,500 registered for the event, making it clear we should have more than 10,000 cyclists on Nov. 22 for our ride.
Additionally, we have almost 30 new ones for this year. We are projecting close to 100 this year after having more than 85 last year when they collectively raised $8.1 million for their charities.
We’re rolling – literally and figuratively.
“We are delighted to welcome numerous El Tour non-profit partners,” said Jessica Davis, El Tour’s Event & Nonprofit Director. “Each nonprofit has a distinct cause or mission that positively impacts the community. El Tour presents an opportunity to assist them in achieving their fundraising objectives. We are and will continue to be their strong supporters.”
It has been a charity since day one and has continued for 41 years.
We welcome many charities back, and we say hello and welcome new ones.
If you are going to ride, think about riding for any one of the nonprofits listed.
We want to raise more than $9 million this year (of course, to beat last year’s number). Through the years we’ve raised nearly $130 million – a number we are very proud of given the magnitude.
We welcome all the nonprofits that have signed up and to all the ones who will be joining us for our ride on Nov. 22, 2025.
And be sure to meet all our nonprofits at our annual Loop de Loop event on Sept. 20, 2025 Sign up and ride for one of them!
