Tour de TART

TART Trails is thrilled to host the annual Tour de TART family friendly bicycle ride on Friday, July 18, 2025! Tour de TART is presented by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan and Blue Care Network.

Riders of all ages and ability are invited to hit the TART and Leelanau Trails for an evening ride that begins in Traverse City and ends at North Park in the Village of Suttons Bay.

Participants may begin anytime between 4 pm and 6:30 pm from Darrow Park in Traverse City. Riders will enjoy two food stops along the 17-mile ride, a bayside meal at North Park in Suttons Bay, a cash bar with local wine and microbrews, and then a relaxing bus ride back to Traverse City. Return bus service begins at 6 pm and the last bus departs at 9 pm sharp. All bikes are transported back to Traverse City in a safe and secure moving truck. Bikes will be monitored by volunteers until owner and bike are reunited. All participants will receive a numbered wrist band at check in that corresponds to the number assigned to their bike.
