Don’t Miss the Headwaters 100 Bike Tour!
Each fall, the Itascatur Outdoor Activities Club hosts the Headwaters 100 Bike Tour—a signature event in Park Rapids that you won’t want to miss! Registration is easy and available at BikeReg.com. Check our website for all the details.
Widely regarded as one of Minnesota's top one-day bike tours, the Headwaters 100 offers riders a choice of three routes: 45, 75, and 100 miles. Pedal through some of the state's most breathtaking landscapes, including the famed Itasca State Park, home of the Mississippi River’s headwaters. With rolling hills, vibrant fall colors, and well supported rest stops, this ride is as enjoyable as it is challenging.
Attracting hundreds of riders from across the U.S. and Canada, the Headwaters 100 is not just a ride— it’s a celebration of cycling and community. Mark your calendar for Saturday, September 27, 2025, and come experience the magic of Minnesota on two wheels.
