Tour LeFleur

In 1994, the race began as a regional one-day event, offering a Saturday criterium on the streets of downtown Jackson. The following year, the USPRO category was added and an existing Sunday road race was moved to the Madison County area, outside of Jackson, to create a multiple-race format. In 1998, the Tour LeFleur became an elite US race with its inclusion on the Saturn US Pro Cycling Tour.
In 1999, the road race moved to the neighborhood streets of Jackson and the event earned a spot on the Union Cycliste International (UCI) calendar. With the addition of the international flavor, the race became one of the top five cycling events in North America.
The Tour LeFleur in Jackson, Mississippi has been in existence for seven years, and enjoyed its best year yet in 2000. The 2000 edition of the Tour Le Fleur is designated as the US National Time Trial Championship for men and women. It is also ranked 1.4 on the UCI calendar, making it one of six such UCI classed events in the States. The course is a total of 40 kilometres, out and back, on the Natchez Trace Parkway.
