 Princeton
Tour de Cure
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 Princeton Tour de Cure starts
and ends at the ETS campus in the historic Princeton, NJ. With
routes ranging from a leisurely 10 mile ride, to a 100 mile, there's something
for everyone at the Tour de Cure! This is an event like no other. No matter which
distance you choose you'll be fully supported with route marshals, SAG
vehicles, mechanical support, and rest stops stocked with hydration and a
variety of snacks to keep you fueled. At the finish, you will be welcomed with
cheering volunteers, great food and much more.

Do you or someone you know have diabetes?
Thousands of people with diabetes participate in Tour as "Red
Riders". Red Riders are the reason we ride—they are given a jersey to
proudly wear on the day of the event. Beyond the recognition, Red Riders
are part of a community that inspires us to ride and raise money to
Stop Diabetes. Be sure to choose "Red Rider" when you register!
