The best cyclists in the world are treated to true Southern hospitality and a first-class race course all across our beautiful state. Over half a million spectators are thrilled to see first hand why these athletes are among the best in the world. Many of these spectators visit Georgia for the first time, from all across the United States and other countries, and the Tour is a vehicle for them to discover the beauty and splendor of our state. The Tour provides the largest rolling Health & Wellness Expo across the state during race week. This is indeed one way the Tour gives back to the community, by sharing information in an engaging way to help adults and children realize the benefits of exercise and healthy lifestyles.
