THE EVENT
Lone Star Cyclists proudly present the 40th Annual Tour d'Italia!
For four decades, Tour d'Italia has brought cyclists together in Italy, Texas, to ride for a great cause. Benefiting Italy High School, Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, and other North Texas charities, this year's milestone edition is bigger and better than ever.
Join over 1,200 riders on Saturday, June 20, 2026, and choose from five routes (12 to 65 miles) through the rolling countryside of Ellis and Navarro counties. Every registered rider earns a collector-quality 40th Anniversary tech tee — but you must pre-register to guarantee your shirt.
Camping is available on the high school grounds, including the air-conditioned gym for those who prefer to sleep cool the night before.
Come ride with us and help make the next 40 years just as strong.
Event details and schedule
Routes from 12 to 65 miles appeal to riders of every level — from families enjoying a casual spin to experienced cyclists looking for a solid challenge. For detailed and current route information, including maps and elevation profiles, visit:
