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 that want to Stop Diabetes! Any rider who isn't already on another team can join Team Red.
And 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.
Can others without diabetes join Team Red?
YES! You (and those that support you) can join Team Red, which again 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.
How did Team Red get started?
Team Red got its start in 2007 when Mari Ruddy started the Red Rider program and quickly discovered the need for a team for everyone supporting their Red Riders and for folks new to Tour de Cure who were looking for a team. From those humble beginnings in 2007, Team Red has now expanded across the country to all Tour de Cure events.
