Tour de Cure Red Riders

The purpose of the Red Riders...

is to support everyone who lives with diabetes and showcase the courage it takes to live every day with this difficult condition.

And being a Red Rider means...

that you are not alone. With hundreds of riders who may share a similar story, and hundreds more to support you, being a Red Rider can help with your first step or your millionth—in your fight to live a healthier life!

How do I become a Red Rider?

If you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes you are eligible to become a Red Rider. All you need to do is contact your local Tour de Cure coordinator and tell them you want to be recognized as a Red Rider on the Tour de Cure. You will receive FREE recognition gifts on the day of the event such as a Red Rider Jersey or Red Rider T-Shirt in the cities that provide them.***

Is there a team I can join with other Red Riders?

YES! You (and those that support you) can join Team Red, which is made up of Red Riders AND those that support Red Riders. If there is not a Team Red listed in your local Tour de Cure event—you could be the one to start TEAM RED as the captain and encourage others to join you!

If you are already part of your corporate or family team you can stay on your team and still be recognized as a Red Rider.
