Ride From Anywhere
Virtual | Saturday, August 29, 2020
By joining the 2020 virtual Tour de Fox , you’re helping us close the gap on a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Riders of all experience levels, abilities and speeds are welcome!
Due to COVID-19, The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s 2020 Tour de Fox Series is shifting gears and going virtual! Cyclists and supporters worldwide will unite on August 29 to pedal together toward a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
Let’s ride!
How does a virtual event work?
Step 1: Register.
- Registration for each rider is $50 (USD) and all adult riders are encouraged to raise additional funds to have a total of $250 (USD) by the end of this ride, but it is not required.
- Registration for each youth rider (16 and younger) is $40 (USD), and while fundraising is not required it's highly encouraged.
(Please note, all registration fees are fully tax-deductible and non-refundable)
Step 2: Rider packet. Once you register you will receive a rider packet in the mail. The package will include your Tour de Fox t-shirt, racing number and other fun surprises. Shipments begin in July.
Step 3: Personalize your fundraising page. Know that you are cycling for a great cause – finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease - and we need your help to raise money for research.

*The top five team and individual fundraisers will be recognized on our website and awarded special prizes after the ride.
Step 4: Time to ride. Set a time to cycle on August 29, or on your own schedule. You can cycle outdoors or indoors, alone or with a group of friends/family — just remember to be smart, use your judgement and practice appropriate social distancing. If you’re cycling through unfamiliar roads, we suggest planning your route and driving it before the ride.
Step 5: Share with us. Throughout your training and after you complete the ride, be sure to add your miles to the progress tracker on your fundraising page. Take a photo of yourself in your Tour de Fox swag and post it on social media using #TourdeFox.

Step 6: Ride it forward. By participating in our virtual cycling event, 100 percent of proceeds from the registration fee and your fundraising pages will be used to fund high-impact programs to speed better treatments and a cure for Parkinson's disease. No donation is too small, so thank you!
