Junior Tour de Naperville returns Aug. 8 for young cyclists

The Naperville Park District’s annual Junior Tour de Naperville will be held on Saturday, Aug. 8, at Wolf’s Crossing Community Park, 3253 Wolf’s Crossing Road.

Children, ages 3-12, have the opportunity to ride their bikes, tricycles or big wheels along the 1.2-mile loop trail within the park. Parents are welcome to accompany their child around the course or cheer for them on the sidelines. All participants are required to wear a helmet.

Each age group will start at separate times: 3- to 5-year-olds will begin at 9 a.m. followed by 6- to 8-year-olds at 10 a.m. and finishing with 9- to 12-year-olds at 11 a.m.

The older children are encouraged to challenge themselves by riding around the course as many times as they can. Each registered child will receive a yellow T-shirt, and there will be “support and gear” stops throughout the course with water for the participants.

Registration for the 2026 Junior Tour de Naperville is in progress for all age groups. To learn more information and register for the event, visit napervilleparks.org/juniortourdenaperville.
