21st Annual Tour de Ladr

The 21st Annual Tour de Ladr invites cycling enthusiasts to the tranquil Eastern Shore of Mobile Bay on Saturday, April 11, 2026. Hosted by the Medical Society of Mobile County, this milestone edition continues its legacy as a welcoming, non-competitive excursion through some of Alabama's most scenic coastal landscapes. The ride maneuvers along a 20-mile out-and-back course, commencing at the Beckwith Camp & Conference Center and reaching its turnaround point at the picturesque St. Francis at the Point in Fairhope. Designed to accommodate riders of all skill levels and bicycle types, the event emphasizes safety and community spirit, maintaining a strict requirement for helmets while celebrating the joy of coastal cycling.

Beyond the physical journey, the Tour de Ladr serves a profound philanthropic purpose, specifically through its "Virtual Rider" category which directs total proceeds toward Camp Rap-a-Hope. This initiative allows those unable to attend in person to support a summer camp dedicated to children who have faced a cancer diagnosis. Participants can expect a refreshing breeze off the bay and a supportive environment fueled by the Medical Society's commitment to regional wellness. With registration tiers offering discounted rates for students and early birds, the event remains an accessible tradition for families and academic communities across the Gulf Coast.
