ABOUT

We’re looking forward to the 2026 event and seeing everyone again!

The ride features four distances covering the beautiful back roads of Door County.

Each of the routes begin and end at Horseshoe Bay Farms, just south of Egg Harbor. Support services and rest stops are provided along each route, while a spectacular post-ride party featuring food, beverages, and music awaits you at the finish line on the grounds of Horseshoe Bay Farms.

This year’s post-ride meal will feature a meal from local chefs available until 5:00 pm.

The Peninsula Century Spring Classic is organized by the Peninsula Pacers, the group responsible for the success of the Door County Half Marathon & Nicolet Bay 5k,  and presented by Door County Living magazine.

Our New Home in 2025

The Peninsula Century Spring Classic received a new home in 2025. After 35 years in Baileys Harbor, the ride moved to the grounds of the historic Horseshoe Bay Farms for the 36th edition on June 14, 2025. 

As the ride grew over the years, space behind the Baileys Harbor Town Hall grew tighter, and parking became more congested in the community. The town was a wonderful home for the ride for more than three decades, and we’re thankful for the support from businesses and town staff during our run. 

Horseshoe Bay Farms has a unique place in Door County history, as it was once the largest and most innovative farm in the state. Several years ago, a nonprofit was formed to steward that history and expand opportunities to use the grounds and learn about its impressive past. We’re excited to be partners with them to be part of sharing their story.

More than anything, this change has been a great improvement to your experience as a rider. You’ll still experience similar, but new routes and rest stops on your ride up, down, and across the gorgeous Door Peninsula. Meanwhile, your start and finish at the farm offers on-site parking, less congestion, and a post-ride lunch centered in the ambiance of the historic farm. 

We look forward to seeing you on June 20th to celebrate 37 years of Spring Classic riding in Door County!

Loved the ride! Route was beautiful and very well marked. Rest stops were plentiful and had plenty of food and drink. Loved the ice cold beer and delicious food at the end. I’ll definitely be back!

This year was the third annual excursion for myself and some friends. The ride and beer festival are becoming a tradition for us. Always a great weekend. Thanks, and keep up the good work!
