Event Highlights 
Tour de Cure is more than just a cycling event. It's a life-changing event. A day full of fun and excitement where riders of all levels join forces in the fight to Stop Diabetes® and raise critical funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy in support of the American Diabetes Association.
The Tour is a ride, not a race. Whether you are an occasional rider or an experienced cyclist, there is a route just for you. While some of the routes are long and challenging for avid cyclists, others and short, flat and accomodating for families with children.
The CT Tour de Cure offers 5 different ride route options:
100 Mile, 100K, 50K, 25K and a Family Ride.
So take the Ride of Your Life and sign up for the CT Tour de Cure today today!
