About This Race
2026 marks the 13th Annual bike tour pretzel party!
The Twisted Pretzel remains a charity event benefiting local organizations! The challenges we all face since the pandemic have only made the needs greater for local food banks and service organizations. The Twisted Pretzel Tour is an event where 100% of the net proceeds go to area food banks as well as local organizations that assist in putting on a great event year after year. This year those organizations need our help more than ever.
