The New York Times

features Team Type 1 and Team Type 2 in the Health section. National attention is brought to the efforts of the teams who competed to demonstrate that diabetes does not need to impede althletic prowess. Our diabetic athletes were able to complete this grueling 3000 mile race by controlling their diabetes through diet, exercise, and the use of the best treatment and technology available today provided by our sponsors. We thank over 34 volunteers who devoted over one week of their lives to support our teams in their quest to race across America.

RAAM is known to be one of the most grueling cycling races in the United States where solo riders and teams compete racing across the U.S from Oceanside (near San Diego), California, to Annapolis, Maryland.
