(1) General Information
First Magnus El Tour de Tucson presented by Diamond Ventures proudly announces the Tucson Medical Center El Tour Kids & Family Fun Ride on Saturday, November 18th at El Tour's Main start/finish line in downtown Tucson (Congress & Granada).

Kids Fun Ride is two events:

A 4-mile flat course for young cyclists, their families and friends on road bikes, mountain bikes, BMX, tandems, or anything on two wheels. Starts at 9:00 a.m.

A special short course (less than 1/4 -mile) for cyclists on tricycles, bicycles with babies, training wheels, handcycles, wheelchairs, or babies in bicycle trailers. Adults, family and friends are encouraged to ride, run, or skate along. Starts at 9:45 a.m.

All cyclists receive a medallion and a package of "goodies" from our sponsors. If registered before November 9th, a special t-shirt will be reserved for you. Late registrants may receive a t-shirt if any remain - so register early!

The Kids Fun Ride Awards Ceremony starts at 10:15 a.m. with awards for the Highest Money Raiser (must raise at least $500 to qualify), Most Decorated Bike Award, and more! The highest money raiser for Tu Nidito will receive the Pizza Hut Kids Fun Ride Treasure Chest filled with gifts including a bicycle, supplies, toys and lots of fun stuff... over $1,000 of gifts!

Following the Kids Fun Ride, the El Tour Downtown Fiesta begins! Don't miss the music, food, jumping castles, face painting, arts and crafts! Stay all day at the El Tour Downtown Fiesta - over 75 performers including Tucson Puppet Works, stilt walkers and balloon magic. You'll see BMX trickster riders and the Tucson Roller Derby Girls.

Proceeds from this year's event will benefit Tu Nidito Children and Family Services. Tu Nidito, which is Spanish for "your little nest", is a very special not-for-profit organization. Its mission is to provide individual, family and group support through emotional, educational, social and spiritual services to children and their families as they deal with serious illnesses and death.
