Freedom Tour Classic

The Freedom Tour Classic, held on June 20, 2026, in scenic Fort Collins, Colorado, is more than just a race; it's a powerful community event dedicated to supporting children rescued from human trafficking through the Home of Hope. Participants can choose from a variety of distances, including cycling routes of 62, 40, 25, and 15 miles, alongside a 5K walk, ensuring an option for every ability and interest. Riders consistently praise the "beautiful routes" and the "stunning scenery of Fort Collins," highlighting the camaraderie and spirit of giving back that defines this inspiring day.

All routes for the Freedom Tour Classic begin and end at Timberline Church, offering a central hub for this uplifting event. The cycling courses are primarily road-based, navigating Fort Collins' extensive network of paved bike lanes, trails, and paths, including popular routes like the Poudre Trail and Fossil Creek Trail, providing riders with picturesque views that help them forget they're even in an urban area. Along the way, "FUN Rest Stops" provide essential hydration, snacks like BoBo Bars, and restrooms, though riders are encouraged to carry their own hydration and energy for a self-supported approach to minor repairs. Typical race day conditions in late June can see highs around 86°F and lows around 55°F, with a minimal 6% chance of precipitation, creating a generally warm and pleasant environment for the event.

Since its inception in 2013, the Freedom Tour Classic has grown into a cherished annual tradition, celebrated for its friendly volunteers and the palpable sense of purpose that unites all who participate. Every pedal stroke and step contributes directly to a vital cause, fostering hope and freedom for vulnerable children. This event is a unique opportunity to combine personal challenge with profound charity, leaving participants with a sense of accomplishment and the satisfaction of making a tangible difference.
