Tour de La Porte 2026: Move for More
Every Mile Builds A Stronger Community!
Tour de La Porte is more than a walking, running, and cycling event—it’s a powerful weekend of movement with purpose. Families, friends, and fitness enthusiasts come together to support the La Porte County Family YMCA and the vital programs that strengthen our community.
Every step, stride, and pedal fuels life-changing impact—helping kids discover confidence, families build healthy habits, and neighbors access inclusive, equitable programs that support youth development, healthy living, and social responsibility.
Thanks to the dedication of our participants, sponsors, and volunteers, Tour de La Porte continues to grow its impact each year. In 2025, the event raised more than $64,000 to support programs that improve health, connection, and opportunity across La Porte County.
In 2026, we invite you to move with purpose, rally your team, and help create lasting change. Join us—and turn your passion into progress for La Porte County.
