TOUR de HOPE Gravel is a road cycling race on November 1, 2026 in Pleasant Hill, MO, with entry fees from $50 to $60.
From the Organizer
The event offers three updated distance options across fast, rolling routes made up of approximately 90% gravel roads. The 50K and 100K courses are timed races, with awards presented to the top three men and women in each distance. The 25K offers a more relaxed, untimed ride for those who want to enjoy the experience without watching the clock.
While SAG stops are available along the course, every rider should come prepared to support themselves and handle basic mechanical and nutrition needs. Along the way, riders can look forward to pancakes, plus food, beer, and an after-party at the finish to celebrate the ride and the impact it makes.
100% of proceeds support The Hope Center KC and its work serving individuals, families, and neighborhoods on Kansas City’s East Side.
