Register today to Take the Ride of Your Life! The Tour de Cure features routes of different lengths for riders of all skill levels. There's something for everyone from a leisurely short distance to a more challenging length. Either way, Tour de Cure is a ride, not a race, so take it at your own speed and enjoy the journey. All Tour de Cure routes are safe and fully supported with route marshals, SAG vehicles, mechanical support, and rest stops stocked with hydration and a variety of snacks to keep you fueled. At the finish, you will be welcomed with cheering volunteers, great food and more.

Tour de Cure is marking its 20th Anniversary this year, so help us make an even bigger impact. In twenty years we've raised millions of dollars to fund research, provide services, and give 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.

You can make a difference!

In 43 states from coast to coast, thousands of cyclists will be pedaling toward finding a cure for this deadly disease. Join us and your support will make a difference to the nearly 24 million Americans who suffer from diabetes and over 57 million people with pre-diabetes.

Team Livestrong Challenge 2011 - Davis, CA

We’re thrilled to visit a new city in 2011 and grow the LIVESTRONG community in California. Join us at our event in Davis on July 10, 2011. Choose from one of our multi-distance bike rides and then enjoy a post-event party with your fellow cyclists, family and friends.

Last year, 1,600 dedicated participants raised over $1.1 million for the fight against cancer. This generous donation will continue to help cancer survivors live life on their own terms and build and support programs and initiatives to help raise awareness of and improve the lives of the 28 million people living with cancer today.
