Challenge yourself to change the course of Alzheimer’s disease by signing up to be an ALZ Star. Go the distance in the fight against this devastating disease by training for and riding in the 36th Annual El Tour de Tucson while raising valuable funds to advance the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association.

Join today

To get started, click on "Sign Up Now" above. Once you join the ALZ Stars, please complete and return this form to mhartford@alz.org. Note: Note: In order to maximize the funds raised through this event, the ALZ Stars program does not automatically provide you with your race entry. The Alzheimer's Association will pay the entry fee for all riders who raise $500 or more. After you sign up, it’s time to start training toward the finish line and fundraising to fight Alzheimer’s!

Team benefits

Each ALZ Stars team member who raises $500 or more will receive an El Tour de Tucson commemorative jersey. $1,000 will receive their choice of an Alzheimer's Association team ride kit or El Conquistador Trophy. We will provide you with opportunities for training rides, fundraising guidance and, most importantly, the camaraderie of a team that is participating to achieve the same vision--a world without Alzheimer’s disease. We’ll celebrate our success and share our enthusiasm at the pre-ride celebration breakfast on Friday. 

No Bike? No Problem!

Local non-profit, Uphill Into the Wind loans quality road bicycles to any interested rider who agrees to fund-raise $250 or more for the Alzheimer's Association. Download, complete and return the application form to Uphill Into the Wind. Bikes need to checked out at least four weeks before El Tour to assure proper fit and safe riding.
