Course

The Tour de BBQ course is an award winning route that takes you literally on a tour of Kansas City’s best barbeque throughout the Kansas City metro area. Rest stops are every 10 miles and are Kansas City’s famous barbeque restaurants. Check out the routes by clicking on the mileage below.

Due to the varying degrees of difficulty of the courses and in an effort to maintain a high safety standard for all, the Tour de BBQ ™ support (SAG) will end 5 hours after starting. If you are on the course after 5 hours and on pace to not finish in 5 hours, you will politely be asked by our support to allow a SAG vehicle to take you to the finish line. If you do not want SAG to take you back, you understand that you will no longer be provided support on the route and are riding at your own risk.  Riders also understand the Pavilion closes promptly at 2:00 pm – please plan accordingly.

Rest Stops

At no other event in the country can you sample Kansas City’s best barbeque while helping in the fight against cancer. Riders understand that they are sampling barbeque and not eating a meal at the restaurant. Due to the volume of participants in the Tour de BBQ ™, the planning committee is doing everything it can to accommodate the numbers of riders.
