The Tour de Natick is a family bike ride held each Father’s Day on the Natick Common by the Rotary Club of Natick. The route is a 6 mile loop leaving the common at 11 AM and returning for lunch immediately following.
The Tour de Natick raises money for the Rotary Club of Natick’s charitable foundation to benefit Natick Scholars. Each year the Rotary club of Natick gives away over $10,000 in scholarships to graduating Natick High School Seniors. Additionally, we give out over 300 dictionaries to third graders through our dictionary program. Over the past 13 years we have been able to give out over $151,000 in scholarships and over 4,500 dictionaries because of the Tour de Natick.
New this year we are adding the Primrose School of Natick Children's Zone for families that have little ones who can't ride to join in on the fun. There will be fun games and activities including arts & crafts for Father's Day and an obstacle course by Natick Youth Fit. The Children's Zone will allow the whole family to come down to the common to enjoy Father's Day together and stay for a cookout after the ride. Entrance to the Children's Zone will be free for families who have entered the ride and a small entry fee will be charged for families who don't and children must be accompanied by an adult.
