The newly launched Tour de Fox Series is a collection of cycling events hosted in select cities across the United States and Canada that fund critical research to cure Parkinson’s disease.
The Tour will focus on four featured events, one of them taking place for the first time in Greenville, SC. Overall, the series purpose is to engage riders, family members, and friends of the Foundation in support of finding a cure and to galvanize the community into action.
The September 23rd cycling event takes place at Furman University. Cyclists have the option to choose from a 65-mile, 40-mile or 10-mile ride. Please note: Ride registration and start times vary based on distance selected. Registration for each ride is $50 (USD) and all riders must raise an additional $200 (USD) by the day of the ride. Walk-up registration is $75 (USD) and can be paid day-of the event. Registration fees are fully tax-deductible and non-refundable. Register at tourdefox.michaeljfox.org.

To allow for efficient check-ins, cyclists should visit the registration table no earlier than 90 minutes prior to your start time. Walk-up registration for $75 (USD) is welcome.
