Event Information
The Seacoast NH Tour de Cure attracts cyclists from all over New England as a safe, well-run ride for an incredible cause. All of the routes in the Seacoast Tour include ocean front riding, which brings beautiful ocean-scape vistas as well as occasional gusty conditions.

All of the routes are fully supported by Tour de Cure Rest Stops and on-the-road Support and Gear (SAG) Vehicles. These volunteers are experienced and trained to assist in maintaining fun and safe conditions for riders. Lunch is provided for cyclists and volunteers and will be served from 12 pm 2 pm.

After the hardest part is over, come together and enjoy the post-ride fun with music, food and local vendors all there collaborating with this truly local event. Family members and friends are encouraged to come enjoy the festivities and show your support for the Seacoast Tour de Cure.

Tour de Cure is a series of fund-raising cycling events held in 40 states nationwide to benefit the American Diabetes Association.

The Tour is a ride, not a race, with routes designed for everyone from the occasional rider to the experienced cyclist. Whether participants ride 10 miles or 100 miles*, they will travel a route supported from start to finish with rest stops, food to fuel the journey and fans to cheer them on!

Last year, more than 32,000 cyclists in 78 Tour events raised nearly $13 million to support the mission of the ADA: to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes.
