10th Annual Tour de Keys Charity Bike Ride

Mark your calendars! The Tour de Keys, a celebrated charity cycling event, will return on November 22, 2025. This year not only commemorates its tenth anniversary but also offers participants the chance to embark on a breathtaking cycling adventure while contributing to the local community.

Overview of the Event

Cyclists will journey over 42 bridges, traversing the picturesque turquoise waters of the Florida Keys. Participants can select between a 50-mile or 100-mile ride along the iconic Overseas Highway, moving from Key Largo to Key West. The event is designed to ensure a supportive and enjoyable experience for all riders, with amenities geared towards comfort and safety.

Fundraising Goals and Impact

The primary goal of this year’s event is to raise $200,000 for two essential nonprofits: AH Monroe and MARC, Inc. AH Monroe focuses on delivering crucial health care and affordable housing, while MARC, Inc. empowers adults with developmental disabilities throughout Monroe County. Since its initiation in 2014, the Tour de Keys has blossomed into a much-anticipated attraction for cyclists nationwide, uniting participants to uplift these vital services.

Experience the Beauty of the Keys

Riding the Overseas Highway not only provides exhilarating views but also offers participants memorable moments as they cycle across legendary bridges, including the famous Seven Mile Bridge. With supportive services in place, riders can look forward to:

• - SAG Vehicles: Support and gear vehicles stationed along the route.
• - Water/Snack Stops: Hydration and sustenance provided every 10-15 miles.
• - Tech Support and First Aid: On-call help ensures safety and assistance is readily available.
• - Finish Line Celebration: A lively celebration awaits in Key West, marking the achievement of riders.

Past participants echo the camaraderie and rewarding nature of the ride. Sandee Henderson, a former rider, shared her sentiments: "Participating in the Tour de Keys has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The spirit of camaraderie and compassion is unforgettable — I can't wait to ride again."
