One of Vancouver’s fastest and most fun summer events is nearly here, and we’re ready to ride!
Concord Pacific’s Free Family Bike Festival and Tour de Concord Cycling Race will be held on Sunday, July 7, by False Creek.
Attendees will enjoy high-speed races, family-friendly activities, food vendors, a beer garden, and more.
Oh yeah, and the weather is looking nice and sunny, too!
To help you make the most of your Tour de Concord experience, here is a list of everything that you and your family can do at the festival this weekend.
Cheer on the racers
Tour de Concord features a variety of race categories, including amateur races, a Kids 3 to 12 Fun Track Lap, and men’s and women’s pro races. All of the action takes place on a fully contained and upgraded 900-metre cycling course.
There will also be a Charity Race in support of the St. Paul’s Foundation, with teams of three cyclists competing in an 8 km race to raise funds.
St. Paul’s Foundation raises funds for equipment, life-saving research, community programs, and other essential services at St. Paul’s and other Providence Health Care hospitals and long-term care homes in BC.
