Bow Cycle & Sports, along with Mainstreet Bowness, is thrilled to welcome you to the 2025 Tour de Bowness! Whether you're a rider or a fan, we hope you enjoy the excitement and camaraderie of this incredible event. Over the past two decades, the Tour de Bowness has grown into one of the premier amateur cycling races in Western Canada. What started in 2001 with just the Bowness Criterium has expanded year after year, as Bow Cycle continues to find new ways to bring more people into this amazing sport.
The iconic Criterium course remains largely unchanged, featuring seven tight turns and numerous prime viewing spots throughout downtown Bowness. It may not always be the provincial championship race, but ask any cyclist—this course is their favorite, and it’s a fan favorite, too!
In 2023, we introduced the kids' race—one of the most heartwarming additions to the Tour. From run bikes to future cycling stars, this event brings the community together, united by the joy of seeing children fall in love with riding bikes.
2024 saw the inclusion of para cyclists, further expanding our commitment to diversity and inclusion in the sport. We’re excited to watch this group grow and thrive as an integral part of the Tour de Bowness.
This year, the 2025 edition promises to be the best yet, featuring the Horse Creek Road Race, the Montgomery Hill Climb, and of course, the famous Bowness Criterium. We’ve made some exciting tweaks to enhance your racing experience and can’t wait to see everyone in action!
