Change of Plans 
Due to sequestration, we are now not able to hold the event at the Air
Force Academy. We know you are as disappointed as we are in this change of
plans. However, we have a beautiful NEW location at Mary Kyer Park on Voyager. Mary
Kyer Park offers a beautiful setting with a pond and waterfall, playgrounds,
and the best views of the Front Range that Colorado Springs has to offer, in
addition to trailheads for the 5K Walk/Run and 10K Family-Friendly Ride.

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!
