WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH THE TOUR OF THE UNKNOWN COAST?

AN UPDATE REGARDING THE 2025 EVENT

At the end of 2024, a new team of five volunteers stepped up to take over management of the Tour of the Unknown Coast. These folks are all veterans tour riders, and they are eager to keep this iconic event going. They hope to welcome riders of all levels of cycling ability to Ferndale later this year.

However, we’ve hit a snag. During the process of transferring management from the previous Board of Directors to the new Board of Directors, it was discovered that the TUC has run afoul of the IRS. In short, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit status has been revoked. Due to insurance and liability concerns, the new team cannot start organizing the 2025 event until the nonprofit status has been reinstated. This involves digging up old financial records and pleading the case with the IRS, and at this point we just don’t know how long that might take.
