Registration is open for United Way of the Southern Tier’s 2026 Tour de Keuka bike ride fundraiser, which will take place Saturday, August 1, around Keuka Lake. The title sponsor for this year’s event is Kennedy Valve.

“Tour de Keuka is a signature community event, attracting riders from throughout the region and the U.S. who come together to support our work,” said Maleaha Smith, CEO of United Way of the Southern Tier.

Proceeds from the ride support 69 programs for children, senior citizens, and individuals and families in need throughout Chemung and Steuben counties.

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.

Tour de Keuka registration is $35 until April 24, when the fee will increase to $50. The fee goes to $65 on July 11; 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 2026 Tour de Keuka cycling jersey.

Tour de Keuka provides breakfast, lunch, stocked rest stops, and vehicular support for all riders.

Registration information, routes, and more details.
