Registration is now open for United Way of the Southern Tier’s 2025 Tour de Keuka bike ride fundraiser, which will take place Saturday, August 2, around Keuka Lake. The title sponsor for this year’s event is Kennedy Valve.

“Cyclists come from all over the country to ride the Tour de Keuka, and we are grateful that so many return year after year to support our community,” said Maleaha Smith, President of United Way of the Southern Tier.

Bicyclists select a distance (45-, 60- or 100-miles, or virtual), pay a registration fee, and commit to fundraise at least $150 for United Way of the Southern Tier.

“Last year’s ride raised more than $100,000 thanks to the dedication of the riders and our generous sponsors,” noted Stephen Hughes, CEO of United Way of the Southern Tier.

Proceeds from the ride support programs for children, senior citizens, and individuals and families in need throughout Chemung and Steuben counties.

Tour de Keuka registration is $35 until April 26, when the fee will increase to $50. The fee goes to $65 on July 12; day-of registration is $75.

Each rider receives an event T-shirt and a finisher award. Participants who raise $350 or more also receive an exclusive 2025 Tour de Keuka cycling jersey. Tour de Keuka provides breakfast, lunch, rest stops, and vehicular support for all riders.
