INDIANAPOLIS, April 21, 2016 – The 2016 Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions, which begins on Sept. 15 in Spokane, Wash., will visit 36 cities, both large and small, across the nation before wrapping up Nov. 13 in Boston, Mass. The Tour will showcase gymnasts from the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games, along with well-known names from the sport.

"This is going to be the best show we have ever produced," said Steve Penny, president of USA Gymnastics. "We will celebrate our athletes’ success in Rio, as well as what gymnastics means to kids and fans of all ages. This will be a special opportunity for fans across America to see the USA’s best-known and well-loved gymnasts."

“The stars of USA Gymnastics started every morning with a dream, hitting the gym and working to achieve their full potential. They have inspired and delighted fans with their hard work and dazzling performances,” said Jeremy Harper, senior director of marketing for Kellogg Morning Foods. “As an official sponsor, Kellogg’s is proud to help bring this incredible showcase to communities around the country. Maybe we’ll help inspire future gymnasts to start their own Olympic journey.”

At each Tour stop, local gymnasts are expected to join the cast of gymnastics champions. The complete routing for the Kellogg’s Tour of Gymnastics Champions is listed below. Both Los Angeles and Boston will have two performances. For more information, including start times, go to kelloggstour.com.
