The Tour De Donut Ohio
2026-08-22 | Prouty Plaza, 405 Public Sq., Troy, OH, United States
Ohio’s largest one-day cycling event, The Tour de Donut is a unique bicycle event, where your ability to eat donuts is just as important as your ability to ride your bicycle fast. The event is a mass start timed ride where riders visit donut stops and eat donuts. For each donut, the rider eats during the ride (and keeps down) they have 5 minutes deducted from their ride time. There are prizes in several classes including the coveted golden Tour de Donut championship belt for the best adjusted “donut time”. We also award the most donuts eaten in several classes, and for the speed freaks, we also award the fastest bike only time.
Learn More or Register for the event Here
This ride is intended to be fun and includes all cyclists pro to amateur, triathletes, tourists, fitness riders, and fun riders, or you can dust off that two-wheeler you found along the road, or in the back of the barn you are not going to want to miss this event.
While the event is technically a “race” few consider it a serious competition, remember this is all in fun! We doubt the next Tour de France champion will have Tour de Donut Champion listed on his palmares, so eat some donuts and ride as fast or slow as you wish. All roads are open to traffic, and all traffic rules must be followed. Roads are marked with large custom donut markings (in several colors and some have sprinkles) so you do not get lost.
