The Wahooligan Tour
Benefiting the Davis Phinney Foundation
February 25 - March 2, 2024
Two Routes, One Cause - Helping people with Parkinsons live well today.
This long-time virtual event will bring our Wahoo X community together for seven days of fun and inspiring indoor cycling workouts in the SYSTM app. Plus, when you fundraise as part of the Tour, you’ll earn entries into a prize pool that includes sought-after items from Wahoo, Sur PhytoPerformance, Rapha, Team DPF, and more!
What’s New this Year?
This year, we're presenting two routes:
Wahooligan Route: This is our signature route showcasing the best of our personalized 4DP workouts in SYSTM. No matter your level, this route will be challenging, but rewarding.
Sufferlandrian Route: This route honors the Tour's Sufferfest history dating back to 2013. Specifically designed for seasoned riders of the Tour to test your mental and physical limits, all in the name of a great cause.
How to Participate

You can earn additional entries in The Wahooligan Tour prize pool for each US $10 you raise. For example, raise $1,000 and you get 100 entries in the prize pool.
