The American Diabetes Association’s
(ADA) Saratoga Tour de Cure — the premier
cycling event in the Capital Region dedicated
to finding a cure for diabetes — exceeded
$1.25 million in fundraising at the June event.
More than 2,600 riders and 170 teams including
62 companies participated in the ride,
which is ranked first in the state and second
out of 90 Tours nationwide behind Napa Valley,
Calif.
“We are so thankful for all of the riders,
volunteers and community partners who made
this tremendous day possible,” said ADA Tour
Coordinator Denise Nicastro, noting that this
year marked the event’s 17th anniversary
locally.
Designed for everyone from the novice biker
to the experienced cyclist, the Saratoga Tour
de Cure includes 10-, 25-, 50-, 62.5-, and 100-
mile routes.
