Registration for the ride will provide all participants with a rider packet which will include a rider number and small items from our sponsors. Rider packets will be mailed out in early-July to all riders. To receive your rider packet in time for the event, you must be registered by August 8.
Once registered, participants will have the opportunity to earn swag through fundraising. Although fundraising is not required, we encourage all participants to raise additional funds. Remember, your contributions go a long way as 100 percent of the proceeds go straight to high-impact research programs to speed a cure for Parkinson's.

The registration deadline for the Virtual Tour de Fox is Monday, August 29.
(Please note, all registration fees are fully tax-deductible and non-refundable. Due to limitations with our platform host, all registrations will be charged in USD only and cannot be adjusted to an alternate currency.)
Step 2: Set up your fundraising page
You signed up because you support our mission to cure Parkinson's disease. Now we need your help to raise additional funds for research. Once you register, you will receive a link to create your own fundraising page that you can use to collect donations and share your accomplishments leading up to the event.
