Midwest Tandem Rally
Wausau, Wisconsin | September 3-6, 2027
Join tandem bicycle teams from across the Midwest and beyond for four unforgettable days of riding in scenic north central Wisconsin.
The Greater Wausau region is Wisconsin’s BaseCamp!
Wausau is known for its outdoor pursuits, vibrant arts and culture, and much more. In 2018, Wausau was ranked #1 small city for bicycling in the country (and #2 in ranking of cities of all sizes). We are recognized for our extensive network of trails — from paved city routes to challenging mountain bike trails.
The greater Wausau area has it all for cycling — lightly traveled paved country roads, scenic gravel roads, paved bike trails, and mountain biking for all skill levels. Look for bald eagles, ospreys, sand hill cranes! You may even see a fox, a porcupine, or a bear while you cycle through beautiful Wisconsin forests, acres of protected wetlands, and amazing vistas.
