Tour de Summerlin®, Southern Nevada’s longest-running cycling event and a USA Today top 10 cycling event in both 2023 and 2024, returns to the community on Saturday, April 26. Presented by Howard Hughes, the developer of Summerlin® and Downtown Summerlin®, Tour de Summerlin is expected to draw more than 750 cyclists.
Now celebrating its 23rd year, Tour de Summerlin offers three distances—80 miles, 40 miles, and 20 miles—catering to all skill levels. The start times begin at 7 a.m., and all bike types, including e-bikes, are permitted. All registered participants will receive a t-shirt and medal. Registration is $115 per person, with a $20 fee for children under 15 participating in the 20-mile ride alongside an adult. Sign up by April 18 at www.tourdesummerlin.com.
Danielle Bisterfeldt, Senior Vice President, Marketing and Consumer Experience for Summerlin, says Tour de Summerlin was originally created to showcase the community’s beauty, offering cyclists scenic routes through Summerlin’s actively selling new home neighborhoods, as well as and stunning views of Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area to the west. As an untimed event, it promotes health, outdoor enjoyment, and safe cycling practices.
“Whether you’re a serious cyclist or just enjoy getting out on a bike, each route offers plenty of bike lanes, beautiful scenery, and unique riding experiences,” said Bisterfeldt. “Summerlin has long been synonymous with cycling given its proximity to Red Rock Canyon and the community’s 200-mile trail system. Tour de Summerlin is a natural fit for our community, and we look forward to welcoming cyclists from across the valley for this fun event, which has become a signature tradition for our community.”
Now in its 35th year of development, Summerlin offers more amenities than any other Southern Nevada community. These include 300-plus parks of all sizes; 200-plus miles of interconnected trails; resident-exclusive community centers; 10 golf courses; 26 public, private and charter schools; a public library and performing arts center; Summerlin Hospital Medical Center; houses of worship representing a dozen different faiths; office parks; neighborhood shopping centers; and, of course, Downtown Summerlin®, offering fashion, dining, entertainment, Red Rock Resort, Class A office buildings, City National Arena, home of the Vegas Golden Knights National Hockey League practice facility, and Las Vegas Ballpark, a world-class Triple-A baseball stadium and home of the Las Vegas Aviators.
