Four Cities, One Ride
For The Love NWA’s Tour de Love is a community ride built around the organization’s Neighbor Night program, which works to fight food insecurity across NWA. Each city stop is a chance to see that work up close, and riders who complete the full route will be recognized at a finish line celebration and awards in Fayetteville.
A family-friendly mini route runs from Bentonville to Rogers, covering 10.8 miles and wrapping up in Rogers, making it a good entry point for kids or anyone wanting a shorter ride. Those tackling the full 35.4-mile route will finish in Fayetteville.
Pit Stops Worth the Pedal
Each stop along the route comes with food and drinks to keep you fueled:
- Bentonville — Donuts, yogurt, and fruit; water and Gatorade
- Rogers — PB&J or sunbutter sandwiches, bananas; water and Gatorade
- Springdale — Cookies, granola bars, fruit snacks; water and Gatorade
- Fayetteville — Wright’s BBQ at the finish line
Bring your own water and snacks as backup since this is a self-supported ride.
Before You Roll Out
Come with a helmet (required), a well-maintained bike, and extra repair supplies. No on-site bike maintenance will be available. eBikes are welcome but must stay at or under 15 mph on the Greenway. Plan for at least 3.5 hours on the full route and 1.5 hours on the mini. No shuttle service is provided, so arrange your return trip ahead of time.
T-shirts for paid participants are available at the finish line: Fayetteville for full-route riders and Rogers for mini-route riders.
Riding With a Reason
For The Love NWA works to address food insecurity and build community across Northwest Arkansas. Every rider in the Tour de Love helps shine a light on that work, and every mile connects you to the neighborhoods and neighbors that make NWA worth riding through.
Sign up before the April 5 deadline and show up ready to ride.
