Tour de Trail: NYC

The September 11th National Memorial Trail Alliance is honored to host its 2nd Annual Tour de Trail: NYC on Saturday, September 5, 2026, in commemoration of the 25th anniversary of September 11, 2001. This meaningful ride invites participants to come together in remembrance, honoring the lives lost, the heroes who emerged, and the enduring spirit of unity and resilience that followed.

Please join us on Saturday, September 5, beginning at 10:00 a.m., for a 32-mile ride through New York City and surrounding areas along key portions of the 9/11 National Memorial Trail. Cyclists will experience the beauty of Manhattan’s skyline, travel along the West Side Greenway (part of the 9/11 Trail), ride across the George Washington Bridge, and continue through Jersey City, visiting Ground Zero and significant 9/11 memorial sites along the way. The ride concludes with a ferry return. All riders will be given a tour of the memorial by a docent who was there on 9/11 with a riveting story to share. 

New this year, cyclists may begin the day with breakfast at the iconic O’Hara’s Restaurant & Pub, reserved exclusively for participants. Breakfast seatings begin at 8am. Also, The first 25 registrants who sign up at the level including museum entry, can receive early access to the 9/11 Memorial & Museum, while additional participants at the level including museum entry will be admitted following the ride. 

This ride is more than just a cycling event; it is a chance to come together in the spirit of remembrance and to honor heroes with every mile. By riding together, we continue the commitment to Never Forget and carry forward the resilience that defines our nation. 

If you have any questions, or if you'd like to organize a private group tour, please email us at community@911trail.org and we will reply and support any form of connection you'd like to make with us. Private versions of this ride can be offered for groups of 5 or more. 

All proceeds from the ride will support the Alliance’s efforts to create and maintain the September 11th National Memorial Trail, a 1,500-mile, multi-use trail connecting the three locations impacted by the events of 9/11. The Trail fosters remembrance, reflection, and connection across communities in Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington, DC.
