Tour De Cure: Arizona 2026

Prepare for an inspiring day of cycling at the Tour De Cure: Arizona 2026, set for Saturday, February 14th, 2026, in sunny Goodyear, AZ. This exceptional charity cycling event offers participants three distinct distances: approximately 60 miles (Metric Century), approximately 20 miles (Half-Metric Century), and a family-friendly 5-mile ride. Starting and finishing at the iconic Goodyear Ballpark, Spring Training home of the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds, cyclists will be treated to breathtaking views of the Arizona desert and the majestic Estrella Mountains. Expect typical race day conditions around 70F for highs and 45F for lows, with a minimal 3% chance of precipitation, providing ideal weather for a ride.

The courses are designed to offer something for every skill level. The longer 60-mile route, a challenging and scenic 56.3-mile course, navigates through the Estrella foothills with about 1,287 feet of elevation change, featuring a mix of flat stretches and rolling hills. A unique highlight across the longer distances is the thrilling opportunity to take laps around the famous Phoenix Raceway, an iconic NASCAR track. The 20-mile route also traverses the picturesque Estrella foothills with around 942 feet of elevation gain before hitting the Phoenix Raceway, offering beautiful desert views. For those seeking a more relaxed experience, the 5-mile Family Fun Ride is a flat and easy-going 5.7-mile journey through scenic Goodyear neighborhoods, with a gentle 57 feet of elevation gain. All routes are fully supported with rest stops providing water and snacks, and SAG vehicles patrolling the course for assistance.

Beyond the ride, the Tour De Cure: Arizona is a vibrant, family-friendly festival celebrating community and a vital cause. As an annual fundraising event for the American Diabetes Association, your participation directly supports research, advocacy, and education programs. After crossing the finish line, celebrate your accomplishments with a finishers' medal and enjoy festivities at the Goodyear Ballpark, which includes a DJ, breakfast and lunch options, a Kids' Zone, a Wellness Village, and more. This Valentine's Day event is more than just a ride; it's a chance to connect, have fun, and make a significant difference in the fight against diabetes.
