Event Information
The Southeast Florida Tour de Cure offers cyclists an opportunity to enjoy the unparalleled beauty of South Florida while riding some of the best roads in the region. The 10 Mile Fun Ride travels a closed-course route through C.B. Smith Park’s interior roads. Cyclists of all ages and abilities enjoy views of the lake, palm groves and nature areas for which the park is renowned. For cyclists desiring a greater challenge, the Tour offers a 35 Mile Ride, a 62 Mile Metric Century and a 100 Mile Century. Participants enjoy all the splendors of Spring in South Florida as they ride past palm trees swaying in the balmy breeze. The routes feature smooth, level roads and long straight-aways in the popular cycling communities of Pembroke Pines, Davie, Sunrise and Weston.
C.B. Smith Park—a favorite family recreation destination—will once again host the Starting Line Ceremonies and Post-Ride Celebration. Riders and their families can enjoy great food, kids’ activities, celebrity appearances and live entertainment throughout the afternoon.
