Join Threshold Cycling's Climbing for a Cure Challenge!

Every year in the US alone, an estimated 18,000 children are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. This life-altering autoimmune disease attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, leaving individuals unable to regulate blood sugar levels on their own. Unlike Type 2 Diabetes, Type 1 is not preventable and requires constant management with synthetic insulin to survive.

Here at Threshold Cycling, we're passionate about giving back to the cycling community and supporting causes that matter. That's why we're excited to announce our Climbing for a Cure Challenge, a special initiative designed to raise funds for critical Type 1 Diabetes research through the American Diabetes Association's Tour de Cure.

Ready to climb for a cause? Here's what you need to know:

Challenge Objective: Between September 13th and 15th, 2024, push your limits and conquer a cumulative distance of 180 miles while ascending a total elevation gain of 18,000 feet or more.

Who Can Participate? This challenge is open to everyone, regardless of experience level. Whether you're a seasoned roadie, a mountain bike enthusiast, or a gravel grinder, we encourage you to join the fight against Type 1 Diabetes.
