Supervisor Walter Alcorn invites you to Explore Hunter Mill District at the Fourth Annual Tour de Hunter Mill on Sunday, May 5th !
The Tour de Hunter Mill (TdHM) is a community bike ride offering 2 routes (long & short) that change each year to highlight different areas of the district.
Join your neighbors, family, and friends on a scenic ride that will begin and end this year at the North County Governmental Center (1801 Cameron Glen Dr, Reston- across from the Reston Regional Library)
Since its start in 2021, the TdHM has featured new routes each year to offer riders a fresh view as well as highlight various bike-friendly areas of Hunter Mill District.
This year’s routes (short, 16 miles & long, 27 miles) will not only include a stretch on Fairfax County’s portion of the W&OD trail but will also take advantage of the new shared-use path along the route 7 corridor as it will be open in time for our May 5th ride.
Ride marshals and Fairfax County police officers will be on hand to help ensure a safe ride and assist as needed.
If you would like to volunteer to help with TdHM 2024, please email Jillian- TourHunterMill@fairfaxcounty.gov
