Thank You!!!
We want to thank all of our riders, volunteers, and sponsors that have done so much to STOP Diabetes!
We still have more work to do!
We still have until June 18th to raise Funds to qualify for those great Thank You gifts (including the blue jersey) and help us meet our goal of $150,000 so we can STOP Diabetes!
With the rain during the pre-ride hours we know that some may not have made it to the Tour. We want to share our address to mail offline donations to. It is:
American Diabetes Association220 Great Circle Rd. Suite 134Nashville, TN 37228
We are putting our event photos together and will have them all posted as soon as possible. Here is a link to the photos that were taken at the Walgreens photo booth.
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.
Every 17 seconds someone is
diagnosed with Diabetes. There are 26 million Americans who have Diabetes. Another 79 million are pre-diabetic.
Every day:
55 Americans with
diabetes go blind.
120 Americans with
diabetes undergo amputation.
230 Americans with
diabetes enter kidney programs.
It’s not “just”
diabetes.
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.
So take the Ride of Your Life and sign up today!

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. If you have diabetes, be sure to choose "Red Rider" when you register!
(All Red Riders must raise the minimum fundraising goal to receive the Red Rider jersey)

If I don't have diabetes, can I join Team Red?
YES! You can join Team Red, which is made up of Red Riders AND those who support Red Riders. This is a team for anyone who doesn't already have a team.
