19th Annual TOUR OF THE CATSKILLS 2026

The Tour of the Catskills is a Pro-Am road cycling race held in Tannersville, New York, within the Catskill Mountains. Participants begin at Anthem Sports on Tompkins Street. The event features three fully paved route options: 43.5 km, 83.7 km, and 119.1 km, with the longest route measuring approximately 75 miles. This race weekend is designed for dedicated road riding, bringing together amateur and professional cyclists in the same mountain environment. The detail most riders discuss is Devil's Kitchen, a steep climb incorporated into the course and considered the race's most difficult section. The routes traverse the roads of Upstate New York's Catskills, not a closed circuit, meaning the challenge stems from distance, elevation gain, and the rhythm of mountain roads. The event attracts riders from beyond the region and globally, contributing to its status as a destination race rather than a local club event.
