“We always support the cycling community because it’s healthy and aligns with our sustainable vision,” said Hui in a release. “The Tour de Concord is special because it also brings families together. The festival will have a new relay for young kids and parents, bike skills training, the zero-gravity bike trick group and free snacks and prizes.
“Even in tough economic times, our events must go on. We want to thank the City of Vancouver, VPD, and Cycling BC for their ongoing support.”
Tour de Concord’s charity of choice is the St. Paul’s Foundation, which raises funds for equipment, life-saving research, community programs, and other essential services at St. Paul’s and other Providence Health Care hospitals and long-term care homes in B.C.
Tour de Concord
Tour de Concord features a variety of race categories, including youth, amateur, a Kids ride and Parent relay, and men’s and women’s pro races. All of the action takes place on a fully contained and upgraded 900-metre cycling course.
There will also be a Charity Race in support of the St. Paul’s Foundation, with teams of three cyclists competing in an 8 km race to raise funds.
Attendees of the expanded Free Family Bike Festival can check out bike vendors and displays, enjoy free popcorn for kids, visit the beer garden for adults, and bring their own ride in for complimentary bike safety checks and tune-ups.
The festival also features enhanced safety, live showcases by Zero Gravity Trials, a family kids zone, food trucks, live music and DJ, and over $10,000 in draw prizes.

“We’re excited to welcome the Tour de Concord back to Vancouver for its fifth year,” said Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. “It has become the largest one-day criterium and community bike festival in the country, and the best part is that it’s completely free and open to everyone.”
“This event brings people together, celebrates our city, and supports the incredible work being done at St. Paul’s Hospital. City staff and the Vancouver Police Department are working closely with Concord Pacific to ensure it’s a safe and fun day for all.”
