The Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Whether you ride 10 miles or 100 miles, you will travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel the journey and fans to cheer you on!

Each Tour de Cure event has its own character and style–from unique starting points to gorgeous scenery and more! Choose your state and read more about your local Tour. No matter where you ride you’ll enjoy a fun day on your bike for a great cause.

The Tour de Cure is marking its 20th Anniversary this year Nationally and it’s 10th Anniversary Locally, so help us make an even bigger impact. In twenty years we’ve raised millions of dollars to fund research, provide services, and given voice to those denied their rights because of diabetes. We have accomplished much, but as the number of Americans diagnosed with diabetes continues to rise, our mission becomes even more critical. Every dollar you raise and every mile you ride helps the American Diabetes Association in the effort to Stop Diabetes.
