Sponsors: Join US for the 25th annual DIABETES RIDE ON SEPTEMBER 19,
2021. WELCOME TO THE DIABETES RIDE! THIS YEAR'S THEME IS LUAU - COME

*** Due to the unforeseen future of COVID-19 and CDC requirements, we
are REQUIRING ONLINE REGISTRATION to ensure the safety of our
volunteers and riders. Special circumstance onsite registration will
be provided but is limited and not encouraged. ***
The Diabetes Ride started in 1995 as a pledged equestrian trail ride
and has been running annually since that time. The Diabetes Ride
benefits Idaho Diabetes Youth Programs (dba Camp Hodia), a local
nonprofit that since 1978 has been providing camps and programs for
children and teens with Type 1 diabetes.
The Idaho Arabian Breeders Association and Southwest Idaho Trail &
Distance Riders joined efforts in 1995 to organize The Diabetes Ride.
This unique event is a trail ride in the Eagle foothills attracting
200 350 riders every year. Riders can choose between a couple
different trail distances that are on private property. Enjoy the
trail ride, t-shirt, games and a great BBQ after the ride.
By using our new simple software you can easily raise pledges online
to reach more people. When you register online, youll be sent a
personal fundraising page. This page will give you the opportunity to
send emails to your family, friends and co-workers or post on social
media to help raise funds to reach your goal! (1 child going to Camp
Hodia costs over $1,000 so that may be a great goal for instance).

Racing or unsafe riding will not be tolerated on the course - careless
riding will result in you being asked to leave the ride. Again, this
is not a timed event!
A BIT MORE TO KNOW...
Some Facts About Diabetes:
According to the American Diabetes Association, nearly 11% of
Americans, or 34.2 million people, have diabetes. More astonishing,
however, is that about a third of these people dont know it. Whats
more, the Idaho Statesman reports that the CDC estimates that in the
US today more than 2 million young people show signs of pre-diabetes.
When left uncontrolled, diabetes leads to devastating complications
heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, nerve damage,
amputations. But when individuals learn how to self-manage their
diabetes and control their blood sugars, they cut their risk for
complications in half.
