The Event
As an employer of hard working trades people and an active member in our community, we have an awareness of our responsibility for personal health, the health of our staff and the health of those around us.
This summer our company is going to bike, run, walk, swim the whole distance of the Tour de France while commuting to sites, on weekend family outings or just for keeping fit.
The idea being that an organised, focused and competitive event like this will create improved fitness, team building and make some money for charity.
We are also a group that thrives on some positive competition… so if you think that you can get a team together then we ask you to join this competition.
Feel free to pass the invite along to any of your colleagues that may be interested as we want to get a lively competition followed by a generous donation.

The Details
- Along with the standard teams of 10 for companies of 10+ people, we are now accepting teams of 5 for companies with less than 10 employees.
- This year's race is 3320KMs and will be segmented into a 4-stage race, each week-long stage will be 1/4 of the kms (or 830km/week). Smaller team? No problem! 50% less riders = 50% less kms (1660KMs total/415KMs weekly!!). For 2026, we have removed the individual daily KM limit.
- Points will be allocated to teams as they cross each week's finish line (1st place = 10 points, 2nd place = 9 points, to a max of 10 teams); rankings reset at the beginning of the next stage, so if you weren't happy with your placement, you can push harder in the next stage!
- Team Captains will post a time/date stamped photo to the "whatsapp TDF group" immediately as they cross the 830km mark each week; otherwise, did it even happen!?
- Official start date is JUNE 1ST and will continue for the month until all 4-stages are complete; whichever team has the highest total of points (from all 4-stages) will be victorious! We will have a 10 person team winner as well as a 5 person team winner.
- Ride, run, walk or swim! Any physically powered movement counts, as long as it is uploaded to Strava within 24 hours.
- Requirement of one outdoor team ride per week with photo proof - to make this easier, we will be hosting weekly group rides. The calendar for these will be posted on the website, and sent with registration.
- Early Bird pricing is $650/company (same for both 5 & 10 person teams - it's for charity!) and opens April 1st. Standard registration begins May 1st for $695. Registration fees must be sent to tradesdefrance@gmail.com in order to complete your registration (PRE RACE); the winning team/s charity will receive the pot. Charities will be declared in the registration process.
