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.
You will experience a great route that will tour through Fairbanks and bring you back to the Alaska Dog Musher's Hall to the local band Arly Jylz, food from Midnight Sun Catering and the Health and Wellness Villiage at which vendors are available for your questions. Join us for a fun filled day!
