Florida Youth Triathlon Foundation Inc, (FYT) is proud to announce itself as an official sponsor of the Tour De Melon in Chiefland, Florida on June 6, 2026. The Tour De Melon is a longstanding fun-ride sponsored by the Suwannee Valley Rotary Club to coincide with the Watermelon Festival (now in its 72nd year).
FYT has partnered with the Rotary Club to create a special opportunity for kids to participate.
We will ride as a group at the Tour De Melon as follows:
- We will start that morning, just after 7:00 a.m. in a kids wave where we will ride as a group towards the Putnam Lodge in Cross City.
- We will give participants the opportunity to ride with us (out and back) for 8, 21, or 35 miles round trip. We will have an adult volunteer assigned to peel back at each of these turnarounds, which are at mile markers 4, 10.5, and 17.7 (and are also aid stations).
- Registered participants will receive all the normal race schwag and the same level of support as the adult riders that morning.
