The Sedona Century Bicycle Tour is an annual major fundraising event to benefit vital outreach programs of the Old Town Mission.

Hundreds of riders participate each year; entrance fees assist in fundraising, along with area business sponsorships, in-kind donations and a host of helpful volunteers. The Sedona Century is traditionally held the first Saturday in May at a time when the Northern Arizona weather is optimum for cycling. This unique tour winds though the beautiful Sedona/Verde Valley landscape, internationally known for breath taking red rocks, expansive vistas, flowing rivers and ancient Indian ruins. Rider registration fees include: official t-shirt, full ride support, rest stops, lunch, massage and other amenities. All event proceeds go to provide emergency resources and healthcare services for families and individuals in need through: Mission Day Resource Center, Free Health Center and Legal Clinics, Mission Back to School Program and Holiday Food Programs and Events.
