Tour de Hope once again a Successful Event!

The Second Annual Tour de Hope was held on Saturday, September 26th, 2009 , and once again proved to be a very successful event. Even though the day began and ended with rain, the hours between proved to be typically beautiful Southern Illinois fall weather. Approxiamately 80 bicyclists participated this year, and we received countless comments about the wonderful routes through the countryside. Riders came from all over Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, and even as far as Atlanta, Georgia!

Additional Information

Non-riders, families of the riders and riders after completing their rides will find plenty to do in Marion.  There are many shops in the downtown area as well as malls, restaurants, and hotels near Interstate 57.
