Questions

Answers to a Few Questions You May Have

Can I Run The Actual Route?

The route is not designed as a running route so we would not encourage it or recommend it. It is a representation of great distance so that you can ooo and ahh over your accomplishment!

Tour de Northeast WI Map

The Perimeter of Northeast WI: starting at Bay Beach in Green Bay and headed towards Door County, following the perimeter of Northeast Wisconsin.

What If I Get Injured?

This is your personal challenge, so you can adjust your goal. We do not encourage running through an injury.

You may also choose to cross-train and add those miles as part of your goal. You can adjust those into running miles as you feel appropriate to you. For example: 4 miles biking – 1 running mile.
