Tour de Talbot

The bike ride known as Tour de Talbot has had many identities in the past. The event was revived in 2021 and taken to the next level in 2022! We continue this popular ride under the umbrella of Talbot Thrive, a new non-profit in Talbot County dedicated to promoting healthy, safe mobility for all people living, working and visiting our beautiful county, which allows us to raise awareness and funds through sponsorship and partnerships with other community organizations.

Talbot Thrive as an organization hopes to foster the development of trails and paths where all people feel welcome, respected and safe as they walk, run, ride or roll around our county and our towns. While our work focuses on the needs in our mid-Shore county, we are also involved with and support the creation of a regional trail network encompassing the entire Eastern Shore.  

This year, Talbot Thrive has several strategic focus areas:

1) Development of the first segment of the “Oyster Trail” which will ultimately run from Oxford to Easton, Maryland;

2) Advocacy efforts in support of advancing the Easton-Cordova-Frederick Douglass Park Trail; and,

3) Promoting safety improvements associated with the existing trials through the Town of Easton.

Funds raised from Tour de Talbot will help to kickstart our efforts and allow us to push for the necessary work to be done to get these initiatives off the ground in the coming year.
