Jersey Shore Tour de Cure
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.
In our own efforts to RESTORE THE JERSEY SHORE, we have just confirmed with the city of Asbury Park that the
2013 Jersey Shore Tour de Cure will be able to return to our oceanside event
site at Bradley Park this September!

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!

Team RED
Team Red is for Red Riders (participants with type 1 or type 2 diabetes), their family, friends and anyone else who is looking to join with millions of others who want to Stop Diabetes! Any rider who isn't already on another team can join Team Red.
Being on Team Red means that you will instantly be a part of a community made up of people from all different areas and walks of life. Team Red is a great way to connect with other families supporting a Red Rider and other families that are honoring a loved one with diabetes.
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.
Official Team Red gear is also available for purchase through Primal Wear. Check it out here, and gear-up for the ride!
