More details to come.

Join The Michael J. Fox Foundation at Francis Ford Coppola Winery on Saturday, September 20 for the 2025 Tour de Fox Wine Country Ride.

Gear up for an unforgettable ride through the beautiful landscapes of Sonoma Wine Country, with three route options – 14 miles, 44 miles, and 72 miles - for cyclists of all experience levels.

After the ride, celebrate your achievement at the our Post-Ride Fox Festival at Francis Ford Coppola Winery, featuring the best of Sonoma with local food and drink, live music, corn hole and bocce matches, and exclusive tours of the Coppola Estate. It’s more than just a ride—it’s a day to come together, have fun, and make an impact.

Each cyclist commits to raising $1,250, individually or as part of a team, for access to the ride and festival. Separate festival tickets can be purchased for those who would just like to attend the festival and not the ride.

100% of all registration fees and donations will go directly to Parkinson's research programs! Learn more about the impact we are making on the Parkinson’s field here. Join us for a day of cycling, celebration, and community as we work together to pedal towards a cure for Parkinson's.

Not able to join us in Wine Country? Register to ride with us virtually on September 20.

Our courses

Enjoy the beauty of Sonoma County's sprawling wine region, rolling hills and views of nearby mountain ranges. We are offering three route distances for 2024 to suit riders with different preferences. Each of them features aid stations along the way so that you don't have to worry about carrying more than a water bottle, tube, pump, multi-tool, and a snack or two.

Fennec Fox

72 Miles | 2,900'

Those of you doing the long course will be treated to a ride that takes you through four of Sonoma County's nineteen wine growing regions: Alexander Valley, Chalk Hill, Russian River Valley, and Dry Creek Valley. Each of these regions features vantage points of Sonoma County's varied terrain that are as distinctly different as the varietals of grapes grown within them.

You will be treated to a wonderful, moderately long course with lots of rolling hills. There are two signature climbs and fun descents: Chalk Hill, and Dutcher Creek. They are favorites to those of us who are lucky enough to call Sonoma County home.

Experienced cyclists are expected to complete this course in under five hours while slower riders could take as many as eight.

Start time: 8:00 AM

Swift Fox

44 Miles | 1,700'

Our medium course features the same, varied terrain as the long course, and one signature climb: Dutcher Creek. It eliminates almost 30 miles of distance from the long course, and features just over half of the elevation gain. It is very beautiful and the perfect intermediate ride for anyone who is comfortable spending three to four and a half hours on the bike at a moderate or casual pace.

Start time: 9:00 AM

Arctic Fox

14.4 Miles | 317'

Want an easy day on the bike, and beautiful views of Sonoma County? This might be the route for you. Featuring a small amount of climbing over fourteen and a half miles, the Arctic Fox route is perfect for a casual pre-lunch ride with a civilized 10:30am start time.

Start time: 10:30 AM
