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!
Red Riders who registered prior to March 18th are guaranteed a Red Rider Jersey at the Tour. Jerseys will then be given on a first come first served basis while supplies last. Red Riders who do not receive a jersey will get a Red Rider T Shirt.
