Rider registration is currently underway for the 14th annual CARTI Tour de Rock, a cycling-based fundraiser benefiting CARTI cancer patients, scheduled for June 3 at River Trail Station in North Little Rock.
Presented by Russell Chevrolet and Arkansas’ Best Chevy Dealers, the CARTI Tour de Rock is an open-course ride departing from North Little Rock, and routed through Scott and England. The event annually attracts more than 1,000 cycling enthusiasts from all across the United States.
All rides offer cyclists of all abilities route options of 25 miles, 50 miles, 62 miles, 80 miles, or 100 miles. Complete route details and maps are available at CARTI.com.
All routes will depart on a rolling start system, allowing riders to select and plan individual start times between the hours of 6:30 to 8 a.m. on the day of the event. Riders participating in the 80 and 100 mile routes are strongly encouraged to depart no later than 7 a.m. A total of seven fully-equipped rest stops will be plotted along ride routes.
Participants and supporters will celebrate riders at the finish line as part of Tour de Brew, a festival atmosphere complete with food, cold beverages, and music from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Riders will receive an event T-shirt and lunch as part of their registration package. Non-riding participants may register as “Spirit Riders,” and will also receive lunch and an event T-shirt.
The registration fee is $55 per rider through June 2, or $60 on the day of the event. “Spirit Rider” registration is $25 per person. Sign-in and registration the day of the event will begin at 6 a.m.
