Not a cyclist?
Join us for our Fun Walk & Run at 9 AM, HIIT Class at 10 AM, Yoga at 11 AM, and live performance by the Bag of Donuts at 12pm! - admission to all is FREE.
In its 11th year, Tour de Jefferson will be held on the East Bank for the first time and will offer cyclists of all experience levels the chance to ride a 42-mile, 28-mile, or 13-mile route. The ride will start in Lafreniere Park and will end back at the Al Copeland Concert Meadow with a family-friendly wellness festival. The goal of this biking adventure is to continually enhance the awareness of quality-of-life amenities, recreational venues, and the Bicycle Master Plan in Jefferson Parish.
LIVEWELL Fest will feature a live performance by the Bag of Donuts, food & drink, craft vendors, massages, an athlete-exclusive Flex Zone, Kids Zone, and so much more! It will bring together local restaurants, community members, and health organizations to highlight the availability of healthy options, and importance of healthy initiatives in the Greater New Orleans Area. Proceeds from this event will go towards Jefferson Chamber's efforts in public policy, advocacy and quality of life initiatives. A portion of the proceeds will also benefit the American Heart Association. The Jefferson Chamber's Health & Wellness Council was formed in early 2017 as a new initiative focused on educating businesses on the benefits of a healthier workforce and encouraging healthier lifestyles in Jefferson Parish. The LIVEWELL Jefferson campaign is focused on delivering and communicating healthy lifestyle choices to the community.

FOR YOUR SAFETY - RULES OF THE ROAD
All riders must wear a helmet. Click Here TO VIEW RIDER AGREEMENT & WAIVER
FOLLOW THE LAW: Your safety and the safety of other bicyclists depend on you. You have the same rights and duties as drivers. Obey traffic signals and stop signs UNLESS a Jefferson Parish police officer is directing you otherwise. Ride with traffic and use the rightmost lane headed in the direction you are going.
BE PREDICTABLE: Make your intentions clear to motorists and other road users. Ride in a straight line. Signal turns and check behind you well before turning or changing lanes.
BE COURTEOUS: If you need to stop, especially on the levee trail, please move as far off the trail as possible. If you are riding side by side, please allow others to pass.
THINK AHEAD: Anticipate what drivers, pedestrians and other bicyclists will do next. Watch for turning vehicles and ride outside the
door zone of parked cars. Look out for debris, potholes and utility covers. Cross railroad tracks at right angles.
