Amgen Tour of California

As America's most successful cycling race, the Amgen Tour of California is one of the nation’s largest and most recognized annual sporting events. Taking place over eight days, this prestigious cycling road race features elite professional teams and athletes from around the world. The Amgen Tour of California awards important, world-ranking points to the top finishers. In 2012, Santa Rosa had the privilege of hosting the most lauded Overall Start in Amgen Tour history.

For the 2013 Amgen Tour of California, Santa Rosa will make history as the first Northern California OVERALL FINISH host city as the Tour changes direction, moving from South to North. Once again we look forward to sharing the beauty and culture of Sonoma County, and the thrill of the race with you!
