The Dirty Donut Race

The Dirty Donut has about 1,000 riders each year and is the first event of its kind held to be held on dirt roads and is one of the fastest growing gravel events in the Midwest. It offers five different distances of events, 4, 16, 42, 62, and 100 miles, and welcomes a wide variety of cyclists. Everyone from the very serious racer to those that just want a fun riding experience have a place at this event. Serious racers will opt for the “Sprint” race, which is conducted much like any other gravel race and the winners are the first to finish. “Donut” racers will opt for a bit more strategy in a race where the winner is often times not the fastest rider, but the rider who can combine speed with how many donuts they can eat. In the Donut races, each race distance has “donut stops” positioned along the race route. Participants deduct five minutes from their final finish time for each donut they consume at one of our “donut stops” in the race.
