The Guardsmen Tour is a breath-taking fun-filled journey starting at Crissy Field, across the Golden Gate Bridge, up through Marin County and back across some of Northern California’s most precious and popular cycling routes.

The proceeds from this Fundraiser will benefit The Guardsmen, who annually send 2,500 kids to outdoor education programs and provide scholarship support to more than 250 students at Bay Area private schools.

The Fundraising done by our race participants is what makes this event a success. Your fundraising efforts start with a $50.00 entry fee (on registration page) and a minimum requirement to raise $250.00 through your individual fundraising page. Last year, Dan Wheeler, the GTour's highest fundraiser, raised over $6,000 and won a 2011 Marin Carbon bike, valued at over $6,000. We have numerous prizes set up for reaching individual fundraising targets. Please see the registration page of our website. We invite team participation as a great way to gain momentum team registration.

All courses are fully supported and include rest stops, sag wagons, first-aid, and on-course monitors. All three rides will start at Crissy Field in the Presidio just off Doyle Drive and in front of Planet Granite and Roaring Mouse Cycles.

It's because of your fundraising efforts that The Guardsmen have been so successful supporting young men and women since 1947.
