After 16 years, the BC Cancer Foundation has made the difficult decision to end the Tour de Cure. The decision comes after a thorough review of the event, and was guided by three key factors: escalating external risks, including climate events such as heat, fire activity, and storms; increasing inflation and rising event costs; and a decline in net revenue.
Since its inception in 2009, the ride has raised more than $131 million in gross revenue for cancer research and care. The peak was in 2011, when we raised $12 million in gross revenue.
There are several ways to support BC Cancer. They include personal and corporate donations, organizing your own fundraising event, or participating in events such as Workout to Conquer Cancer and the Capilano Volkswagen Cypress Challenge.

BC Cancer Foundation is in a strong financial position and is the largest philanthropic funder of cancer research in the province. In our most recent fiscal year, the Foundation generated $85 million in revenue - our highest ever - from 82,000 donors.
The Foundation continues to increase its support for BC Cancer through small and large donations from communities across the province. By reallocating organizational resources to other programs such as monthly donors, planning giving and online giving – and inclusive fundraising events such as Workout to Conquer Cancer - the organization can engage the broader community while increasing donor dollars flowing to BC Cancer.
No. The Foundation is focusing our resources to ensure we can maximize support for BC Cancer and the 80,000 British Columbians being treated each year.
We are offering full refunds of the 2025 TDC registration fees. If you would like a refund, please fill out this form by November 30 so that we can process refunds by the end of December. If you do not request a refund by this date, the registration fee
will become a donation and you will be issued a tax receipt.
Yes! We want to commemorate riders and volunteers for their 16 years of support and dedication. We look forward to celebrating the remarkable impact of the Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Tour de Cure. More to come soon.
