Event Highlights

Tour de Cure OC invites all riders of all abilities to join us this year as we go from the majestic beauty of Rancho Santa Margarita to the beautiful California coastline on our road portion and get down and dirty as we mountain bike through the incomparable O’Neill Park.

Our road route options include a metric century, 25 mile ride and “beginner” ride of 8 miles. The Mountain portion has options of a 10 or 20 mile stint through the park. If you’re feeling particularly adventurous, you can tackle both in one day! Take a 25 miles road ride and a 10 mile mountain ride all from the same start line.

Whichever routes you choose, your day begins with a complimentary breakfast and start line entertainment. Each ride features fully supported rides with rest stops and SAG support and ends back in RSM with complimentary lunch, live music, kids activities and an opportunity to visit with our sponsors and learn more about the latest diabetes news.

There are 26 million Americans with Diabetes and 79 million more with pre-diabetes, so register today, start fund-raising and help us Stop Diabetes – because someone you know has diabetes.

Champions To Stop Diabetes

When you ride in Tour de Cure, you take part in something unique. You join the ranks of some of the most passionate people in the country people who care about cycling, health and, above all, finding a cure for diabetes.

If you raise $1,000 or more for a local Tour de Cure you will automatically become a Champion to Stop Diabetes and will receive special recognition on the weekend of the event, along with special perks all year long!

If you raise $2,600, in honor of the 26 million Americans living with diabetes, you will become a Champion on a Mission and will receive the coveted gold Champions jersey.

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!

Check out the Thank You Gift Redemption site for info on the gifts at each level.

If I don't have diabetes, can I join Team Red?
YES! You can join Team Red, which is made up of Red Riders AND those who support Red Riders. This is a team for anyone who doesn't already have a team.
