About this race

About Tour de Lavender With vistas of the snow-capped Olympic Mountains, the blue expanse of the Salish Sea, and multi-hued fields of wondrous lavender to roam, the “Tour de Lavender” is more than just a ride, it’s an experience! Since 2013, the Tour de Lavender has given cyclists from beginner to expert the chance to celebrate the stunning beauty of the Olympic Peninsula and enjoy the renowned lavender farms of the Sequim-Dungeness. Celebrate some more when you return to the finish area with pizza, beer garden, socializing. You can also pick up any purchases that you made at the farms, which we will transport back to the event finish area for you!  Peninsula Trails Coalition Proceeds from the Tour de Lavender go to the Peninsula Trails Coalition, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and are used for the construction and maintenance of the Olympic Discovery Trail, as well as advocacy and education. There are a number of ways to participate in the Tour de Lavender:
  • The 35-mile Fun Ride.  The Fun Ride on the Tour de Lavender is a loop course and is for cyclists looking for a more casual, relaxed ride. The route is over mostly level terrain, and most of it is on low traffic country roads as well as the Olympic Discovery Trail, the Peninsula’s crown jewel of scenic bikeways.
  • The 64-mile Metric Century.   The Metric Century is also a loop course. It is mostly over level or gently rolling terrain but incorporates two more challenging hill climbs. It follows backcountry roads and segments of the region’s premier scenic bikeway, and the Olympic Discovery Trail. Elevation gained on the route is more than 2,000 feet.
Both courses visit multiple lavender farms. Each farm has a dedicated Tour de Lavender support station offering snacks, beverages, and quick access to mechanical support if your bike needs it. Each farm also has its own unique character, but all are dedicated to making your visit a memorable experience and truly “cyclist-friendly.”  REGISTRATION OPENS JANUARY 1ST.  Entry fees: Adult:
  • $80 January 1 - April 30
  • $90 May 1 - Jun 30
  • $95 July 1 - August 1
Youth pricing: $35 ages 13-17 / $15 ages 12 and under Entry fee includes: swag bag, marked courses as well as paper and digital maps, pre-event and on-course mechanical support, fully-stocked snack stations at each farm and at Sequim Bay State Park, post-ride pizza (and a no-host beer garden to compliment it!), shopping service (we will transport your farm purchases back to the finish area for you), and more. See the Tour de Lavender website for full event information. NEW for 2026! MORE ways to experience Tour de Lavender and support the Olympic Discovery Trail Tour de Lavender Self-Guided This is for folks who either cannot attend on August 1 or prefer a more low-key experience while still supporting fundraising for the Olympic Discovery Trail.

We will provide a swag bag, paper and digital maps, and all of the information you need to have a lovely day visiting the farms, such as the schedule of farm operating hours, coupons, and more.
