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.
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.
The best family cycling event in the state, the Ocean State Tour de Cure consists of 5 different routes that are sure to cater to your riding ability. All routes cruise along the picturesque coastline of southern Rhode Island and are fully supported by rest stops and support vehicles. Sign up today and join us on June 2nd for the Ride of your Life!

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!
In order to be guaranteed a Red Rider Jersey at the Tour, you must have registered by Monday, March 18th.
