Event organizers and Missouri Lt. Governor Peter Kinder today announced the start and finish host cities and the overall course for the third Tour of Missouri professional cycling race, scheduled for September 7-13, 2009. In a re-make of stage 5 of last year's race, riders will roll out of St. James in the central wine region en route through rolling terrain to the state's capitol in Jefferson City. Jefferson City has played host to a start in 2007 and a finish in 2008. "As the state's capitol, Jefferson City has the unique privilege of serving as the seat of state government as well as the focal point of tremendous statewide events such as Tour of Missouri," said Mayor John Landwehr. "Jefferson City is extremely proud to participate as a three time alumni city in the 2009 Tour of Missouri as the stage four finish city." The following cities will play host to a leg of the Tour: St. Louis, St. Genevieve, Cape Girardeau, Farmington, Rolla, St. James, Jefferson City, Sedalia, Chillicothe, St. Joseph, and Kansas City.
