The 2017 Ward Tour will take place on Sunday June 4. REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN (& FREE)! REGISTER NOW!
There will be limited morning-of registrations before the ride.
Ward Tour sign-in and bib pickup begin at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall, located at 280 Grove St. in downtown Jersey City. Please arrive early enough to wait in a line or two, pick up your bib and pin it on. We recommend arriving no later than 10:00. We will all line up for the start at 10:45 and begin riding promptly at 11:00 a.m., in one large group. Helmets are required for all participants. Only riders 12 and over are allowed to ride individually in the Ward Tour. Younger riders can ride on an adult’s bicycle (in a seat, trailer, etc.). Adults, please register all kids coming with you too!
We’ll ride about 15 miles on streets closed to traffic, with a police escort. We’ll make a clockwise loop around the city, at a relaxed pace (10 mph), taking breaks, and returning around 1:00 p.m. to the finish. There we’ll continue to celebrate cycling all afternoon at our Finish Line Festival in the Newark Avenue Pedestrian Plaza, featuring live music, food and drinks, vendors and other attractions.
