Come join us for a special bicycle race to honor the 15th Anniversary of our beloved father and community leader, Dr. Albert Varacallo! We are so excited to host the race again after taking some time off. The Tour de Varacallo is an amateur bicycle race in memory of the late Dr. Albert Varacallo who was a family practice physician and an avid cyclist. This scenic 18.2-mile race starts in the City of DuBois and passes through Sandy and Union Townships. It features hill climbs as well as flat and rolling terrain.

Please note: Signing up by Monday, June 30th, 2025 for the in person bicycle race guarantees that you will receive a t-shirt. Signing up after does not guarantee a t-shirt as there will be a limited number of extra t-shirts at the event.
