2019 Junior Tour de Naperville set for Aug. 10
Naperville Park District invites kids ages 3-10 invited to ride in their own "Tour de France"
The seventh annual Junior Tour de Naperville is coming to Commissioners Park on Saturday, Aug. 10. Hosted by the Naperville Park District, the event gives kids ages 3-10 the opportunity to ride their bicycles, big wheels or tricycles around the 1.2-mile trail, cheered on by family and friends.
The event began in 2013 to commemorate the 100th edition of the Tour de France.
There will be separate starts for younger and older participants: the 3-5-year-olds will start at 9:00 a.m. followed by the 6-10 year-olds at 9:30 a.m. The older kids will be challenged to go around the course as many times as they can. Each participating child must register for the event and will receive a yellow T-Shirt.
