The ORIGINAL Tour de Donut bicycle race is a spoof of the “Tour de France.” The “race” starts with a mass start and is led/paced to the boundary of Staunton, IL by the Staunton Police.  The route has varied slightly from year-to-year due to road conditions/construction and is over rolling terrain with two donut stops. Riders must stop at the two checkpoint stations (donut stops). Donut consumption is not mandatory,  however, a five minute bonus is awarded for each donut consumed and recorded.  After the race placement awards are presented by category for best Elapsed Time, Adjusted Time and Most Donuts Eaten.  Door/Attendance prizes and grand prizes are also awarded.
