Diabetes can affect anyone, no matter how young or old you are, or where you live. One of the ways you can decrease your risk for developing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes is to exercise in whichever way works best for you. To support you in getting active, the American Diabetes Association has expanded Tour de Cure to include walkers and runners too!
Healthy habits are important year-round, and we know you put effort into your training, whether you’re running your first 5k or crushing another 100-mile century ride. No matter how you get active, the American Diabetes Association wants to celebrate the work you’ve put in, and we invite you to join us for Tour de Cure 2018, taking place on July 28th at AmberGlen Park in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Tour de Cure will still be a family-friendly event, with a few extra elements like a 5k run and walk. We’ll have well-supported rest stops for all of the routes, plus a great finish line celebration to welcome you back from your ride, walk or run with food, music, games and massage!
We are grateful for all of the support of our riders in the past, and we are looking forward to getting to know the runners and walkers who are supporting those people who are Living Red with diabetes in our Oregon/SW Washington community!
