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. Enjoy
beautiful local scenery, rest stops and support, and lots of "Go Red
Rider" cheers as we rally around those living with diabetes. Celebrate
at the finish with the best after party in the business.
Take the Ride of Your Life and sign up today! Ride. Party. Stop Diabetes.
