and spread mosquito control awareness
all proceeds fund the annual student competition
The Tour de Skeeter is a fundraising event held by the VMCA's Student Competition Committee. This event serves to raise awareness for the importance of mosquito control and to fund the annual awards for the student poster competition.
Tour de Skeeter is open to the public and advertised as a biking activity but feel free to walk, run, skateboard, hoverboard, etc. - do what suits you! This event is a great opportunity to get outside with family and friends, and enjoy some camaraderie with fellow mosquito control enthusiasts.
We will be holding the next event Saturday, September 26, 2026 on the Virginia Capital Trail that runs from Jamestown to Richmond, Virginia. Choose whatever distance you'd like to do.
We'll meet up for food and drinks from 11 AM - 2 PM at Billsburg Brewery.

We would love for other areas to participate so please contact us if you have a suggestion for another trail! You can check out our Past Tour de Skeeter Page for pictures and stories of past events.
Feel free to contact SCC Chair Karen Akaratovic if you have any questions.
