An exciting race finish in Jefferson City

• 120 athletes from over 20 countries
• Athletes ride approximately 600 miles over the week
• Start in St. Louis on September 7 and end in Kansas City on September 13
• Largest professional sporting event Missouri has ever hosted
• The 2008 Tour of Missouri attracted over 434,000 spectators and received an estimated economic impact of $30 million.
• An estimated 42,000 people attended the Tour of Missouri in Jefferson City last year and the city realized an economic impact of about $5.5 million.

The Tour of Missouri is patterned after the famous Tour de France of point-to-point, or stage racing. The Tour has joined the elite ranks of top-international domestic cycling of the Tour of California. The race is much more than a cycling race, however, and brings the pageantry of the race along with a rolling festival to each host start and finish city during the week-long event.

A full line up of events is planned to celebrate the 2009 Tour of Missouri. The week will include activities such as local celebrity bike races, St. Louis Sprockets stunt bicycle team, kids activity area and health and wellness expo. Check back for more detailed information as the event approaches!
