Be a part of the first American Diabetes Association Charlotte Tour de Cure! Tour de Cure is the ADA’s premier cycling event, with more than 61,000 riders participating in 44 states. We’re tremendously excited to bring the inaugural Tour de Cure to Charlotte next spring. It’s more than just a cycling event; it’s a life-changing experience with riders of all levels joining forces with the American Diabetes Association to Stop Diabetes® and raise critical funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy.

The Charlotte Tour de Cure will be held in Ballantyne Corporate Park in south Charlotte. With four route options, including a family fun ride and 24-, 43- and 63-mile rides, the Tour de Cure attracts both occasional riders and experienced cyclists. The event is a one-day bike ride and family festival that offers fun, food and entertainment, all for a great cause … a cure for diabetes!

Riders receive complete support during their journey, including food and beverages, well-stocked rest stops, support and gear vehicles, bike mechanics, traffic control, medical support and entertainment. Dedicated volunteers provide encouragement and assistance every mile of the way.

Sign up today and take the ride of your life!
