Great River Energy – Mesabi Trail Tour

August 1 @ 8:00 am – 4:00 pm
Join us on the Mesabi Trail for the most fun you can have on two wheels!
While you pedal (fully supported) along one of Minnesota’s premiere paved bicycle trails you will encounter historic & scenic points of interest, enjoy food, music, activities at rest stops, and a finish line celebration complete with lunch and more music!
Whichever route you choose, you will experience the same outstanding customer service and reliable logistics we’ve become famous for since 2005!
Cost is $55 per person age 17 and older – kids 16 and under are $10 for first kid and the rest are FREE!
New for 2026: We’re excited to announce an SCENIC tour route! We will be riding between Embarrass to McKinley, showcasing the Laurentian Section and many beautiful overlook sections of the Mesabi Trail. The route will be out and back.
Selecting Your Route:
- The Mesabi Trail is not a rail-to-trail conversion…it is NOT flat & straight, there are a number of hills (some steep) and curves (some sharp).
- PLEASE select your route according to your abilities to assure you will be able to finish the tour in a timely fashion.
- While this public trail is open at all times, our tour volunteers will be on the course only until about 4:00 pm.
- You will encounter TWO-WAY bicycle traffic on the Mesabi Trail. Please stay to your right on the trail and share the trail.
The tour is a fundraiser for the Mesabi Trail and Club Mesabi, the “Friends” of the Mesabi Trail.
