Tour de BBQ is a "fun flavored" cycling event unique to Kansas City and held in conjunction with LIVESTRONG Day, a global day of action to raise awareness about the fight against cancer. The Tour de BBQ is partnered with the Kansas City Power & Light District and Gen X Radio 99.7 FM. Following the rides, P&L and 99.7 will host the LIVESTRONG Pavilion, which will have barbeque, SPIN! Pizza's Tour de BBQ Pizza, beverages for kids and adults, and a celebration to honor our supporters in the fight against cancer. This year's event will have an exciting new element -- Gen X 99.7 FM radio will bring in a national act to perform a free concert for all riders and the general public.
Tour de BBQ is a fundraising event for the Livestrong Army of Kansas City, which unites cancer survivors, family, friends and caregivers together to collectively work to make a difference in the fight against cancer throughout the Kansas City region. Through advocacy efforts, awareness campaigns and fundraisers we believe we can make cancer a priority and reduce the burden of cancer. Proceeds benefit the Lance Armstrong Foundation and The University of Kansas Cancer Center.
Tour de BBQ offers three routes -- 15, 30, and 60 miles, each starting and ending in the Kansas City Power & Light District. Some of Kansas City's best BBQ restaurants will be featured as rest stops along each of the three courses.
