TOUR DE NASH

Saturday, May 17, 2025

Walk Bike Nashville’s 21st Annual Tour de Nash, presented by LDA Engineering, will kick-off at 7 a.m., Saturday, May 17, 2025, starting and ending by Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. As the city’s largest urban bike ride, this signature event also serves as Walk Bike Nashville’s major fundraiser for the year. 

Tour de Nash is a ride, not a race, providing a casual and fun opportunity to explore the city’s bikeways, neighborhoods, and greenways with a whole community of friendly bicycle riders. The non-competitive spirit of this event is conducive to a “party-pace”--a leisurely pace that promotes conversation with fellow riders and encourages stops at destinations and rest stops along the way. 

No matter what your age, experience level, or riding style is, there’s a route for you, and in 2025 we’ve brought back the FREE family-friendly City tour! Not only is this year’s shortest route free, it combines fully closed streets with greenway segments to provide a multi-mile, car-free route for the first time in Tour de Nash history. The Local (25 mi) Tour and Grand (45 mi) Tour offer options for riders looking for a longer ride. All three routes include rest stops with water, snacks, bathroom facilities, and basic bicycle maintenance equipment.

5 MILE CITY TOUR

Are you uncomfortable riding your bike on Nashville’s streets? This route is for you! Combining fully closed streets with greenway segments, this is the first multi-mile, car-free route in Tour de Nash history! Experience what an all-levels, all-abilities, connected bicycle network feels like as you loop around downtown.  

25 MILE LOCAL TOUR

If you’re looking for a little more riding time and you’re comfortable sharing the road with cars on streets with bike lanes and/or calmer traffic, the Local Tour is a great choice. You’ll enjoy some of the fully-closed 5 mile route downtown and a quick stop in East Nashville before venturing into South and West Nashville. 

45 MILE GRAND TOUR

For experienced riders who enjoy a challenge, the Grand Tour is the way to go. Like the Local Tour, you’ll start off on the fully-closed 5 mile route downtown before exploring a broader range of the city.
