The Tour de Goodwill is a fully SAG-supported, charity fun ride with four scenic routes (26, 50, 72, and 100 mi) through northwest Louisiana and a 5K Run/Walk. There are rest stops roughly every 15 miles, providing water, sports drink, fruit, our signature combo of animal crackers and peanut butter, and other goodies. And the best part is the Tour de Goodwill raises money for the Job Training & Placement Programs, offered by Goodwill Employment Solutions (GES), the Training and Employment Division of Goodwill Industries of North Louisiana. These programs help people with disabilities and other barriers to employment find independence through work. Riders and Runners like you help place people in jobs!
