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 Oregon/SW Washington Tour de Cure offers cyclists an opportunity to enjoy the rolling hills of the Willamette Valley, winding your way through local vineyards, farms and hazelnut orchards. This year we will offer routes ranging from a 5 mile loop for all ages to our Century Ride, all leaving from Hillsboro Stadium. Once you cross the finish line, plan on staying and enjoying the festivities that include lunch, live music, kid's activities, and vendor booths.
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.
So take the Ride of Your Life and sign up today!
