Tour Of Alberta

The inaugural Tour of Alberta marks Canada’s first major international professional stage race, and the Province’s first foray into the growing global sport of cycling.

Adopted through the vision of Albertan Alex Stieda, the first North American to wear the yellow leader’s jersey at the Tour de France, the Tour of Alberta is scheduled for September 3 – 8, 2013 throughout the province.

This world-class event, which is free to the public, will start in Edmonton and finish six days later in Calgary, home of the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. The course is estimated to traverse more than 800 kilometer of urban as well as rural roads in Alberta.  The event will include more than 50 communities of various sizes, making it one of Canada’s most unique and most spanning sporting events.
