Katy Trail Ride
The 2022 Katy Trail Ride is postponed indefinitely.
If or when a ride is announced, we'll post details here.
The Katy Trail Ride allows bicyclists to experience Katy Trail State Park between Clinton and St. Charles. Join us on this scenic five-day ride on the nation’s longest developed and most popular rail trail.
This ride covers approximately 237 miles of Katy Trail and features great food and many fun activities. Hot showers are available at each overnight stop, enhancing comfortable campsite settings. Participation is limited to 350 people so register early to ensure your place on this scenic ride. Registrations will be accepted until May 1 or until the 350 maximum limit is reached.
Included in the participant’s ride admission will be breakfast and dinner Monday through Thursday, and breakfast and lunch on Friday. Lunch and snacks can be purchased in the towns along the route. Typical breakfast foods may include pancakes, French toast, eggs, bacon, cereal, rolls, fruit, coffee, milk and orange juice. Typical dinners consist of a meat, pasta or vegetarian entree, salad, vegetables, bread and dessert. SAG stops will be located approximately every 10 miles along the route to provide water, fruit and moral support. Because of the length of the route, logistics of the Katy Trail and any unforeseen weather conditions, the SAG may not be accessible at all times. Get signed up for the ride, then register with Padre’s!
