Stay Healthy—Before Becoming a Patient

Our Mission - Prevention in Motion

Free. A cycling tour bring a 12-point Prevention Health Check, brought to your worksite or community. No cost, no appointment trip, no waiting room.

The Pace of Prevention in 60 Seconds

Health care in America too often begins after something has already gone wrong. The Pace of Prevention™ exists to change that timeline.

Aerobic activities combined with plant-based nutrition are not just personal disciplines, but prove what's possible when prevention comes first. The Pace of Prevention™ takes that same principle on the road — literally — riding city to city to bring twelve-point health screenings directly to the worksites and communities where people already spend their time.

We're not waiting for people to find their way into a doctor's office. We're meeting them where they are, catching risk factors early, and showing — through action, not just advice — that a healthier America starts with prevention, not intervention.

This is Leading a Healthier America. One city, one checkup, one mile at a time.

A Tour Built Around Our Partners
