You Could be a Champion!
When you ride in San Antonio Tour de Cure, you take part in something
unique. You can join the ranks of some of the most passionate people in
this community who care about cycling, health and, above all, finding a
cure for diabetes.
If you raise $2,600, in honor of the 26 million Americans living with diabetes, you will become a Champion on a Mission and will receive the coveted gold Champions jersey.
Raising a $1,000 or more this year is not as difficult as you may think. When you reach $1000, you will automatically become a Champion to Stop Diabetes and will receive special recognition on the weekend of the event, along with special perks all year long!

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!
