Many Roads. One Purpose.

Tour de Cure is our premier cycling event for all ages and abilities. Choose the course that best suits you, your family, friends, and coworkers. All the routes will be fully supported with bike mechanics, volunteer route marshals, rest stops with food and water, cheering volunteers and more.

Choose your distance and know that every mile helps make a difference. Whether you choose to ride in person or virtually, all the roads we take lead to the same destination to fundraise for a cure. You can also earn fundraising recognition gifts.

Before you hop on your bike, important notes for Saturday, June 10:
1. Bring a helmet. You must have a helmet to ride.
2. Make sure you have met the $250 fundraising minimum. If you plan to bring additional donations or make a personal gift the morning of the ride, we will have a credit card system on site and collection envelopes on the information table.
3. Should you need assistance while out on the route, we have you covered with route support and SAG vehicles able to help. The rider helpline is 585-444-FALL (3255). We suggest that you save this number in your phone ahead of time. In case of a true medical emergency, please dial 9-1-1.
