Event Details

Registration Closed for 2019

Stay Tuned for 2020 Event Details!

What to do BEFORE THE EVENT

1. Get Registered – Follow the Links to Get Registered (Individual, Tandem, Team, etc.)

2. Get in Shape – All Prizes are awarded on Adjusted Times. Chances are, you will need to be fast – but it is more important to eat at least one or two donuts (if not more) to have a chance at a podium finish for your division. Riders in the past who have come across the finish line first with their non-adjusted times – usually do not get a podium finish because of the adjustments for the donuts eaten. In many cases – eating one or two donuts would have made the difference from being off the podium to being on the podium.

3. Talk it up – Encourage others who ride a bike to join you in your efforts to support a great cause with a unique event. If you can pull a group of 5 riders together, you can Register as a TEAM! Teams are eligible for Team and Individual Prizes. Even if they do not ride a bike, encourage them to volunteer or be a participant and cheer you and the other riders on. Direct people to our Facebook Page and Main Website so they can follow the details of the Pre/Day Of/ and Post Event notifications!

4. Become familiar with the Route (NEW LOCATION EFFECTIVE 2016)– If you have not ridden our event before, you will want to familiarize yourself with the route. Riding it a few times before the day of the Event will give you familiarity with the route. We will have people around the course on the day of the event to help our riders know where to go…

What to do the DAY BEFORE THE EVENT

1. Make sure your Bike is in good repair.
2. Make sure you wear proper safety equipment
3. Make sure you have your registration information with you
4. Make sure you know how to get to the location of the Event.
5. Get a good nights sleep.

What to do the DAY OF THE EVENT

1. Arrive at the Event Location early: Lone Peak High School – South Parking Lot in Highland, Utah. The event will be staged from the Lone Peak High School South Parking Lot in Highland, Utah. Please park in the west side of the parking lot so we have enough room for the events on the east side of the parking lot. Check-in usually begins around 6:30 and will end around 7:45 AM. If you arrive at the later portion of the Check-in process, you will feel rushed and stressed which might not make for the best ride.

2. A final check of your gear, pin bib numbers on your back, make sure your timing chip is located correctly.

3. Visit Vendor Booths before and after the event! Our vendors provide a lot of monetary support – make sure to support them.

4. Make sure you prepared to eat a donut or two. Even if you choose not to eat a donut, you still need to stop and have your bib marked with a ZERO by one of our Volunteers. This will verify that you completed the route the assigned number of laps.

5. Line up at the START/FINISH Line a little before 7:45 AM and get ready for the Ride. Remember – Three (3) Laps of approximately Seven (7) miles each with stops for Donuts at the end of each lap will make you eligible for the Podium Finish and other prizes available to our Event Participants. Junior Division Riders will only ride the route Two (2) laps and will have one chance to eat donuts.

6. With Chip Timing, your race does not start until you cross the Start/Finish line. So, it does not matter how far back you are, your time will start when you cross the timing sensors!

7. Enjoy your ride – and DONUTS!

What to do AFTER THE EVENT

1. After you have completed your ride, you can cheer on the other riders.

2. We will have a Timed Event this year – so, if you do not complete the Ride in the allotted amount of time, you will not be eligible for prizes – even if you complete the full route. (This will facilitate getting the awards out in a timely manner)

3. Visit the Vendor Booths.

4. Visit with other participants, network, etc.

5. Wait for the Awards Ceremony – each year, we are getting better at the length of time between when the event is finished and when the awards are given out. We hope to improve once again and have worked out many of the bugs that come with integrating Chip Timing with Donut Eating Adjustments. Be patient with us as this is not your typical event!

6. We have several people that take pictures – we love to get copies of these to post to the website. If you have access to pictures, contact us and we will work out a way to give you credit for the pictures you provide to us.

7. Timing Results are usually posted to the website within 24 hours of the event being finalized – stay tuned for announcements about this and pictures after the event.

Utah Tour De Donut

It is with mixed emotions that we are writing this post.

We have determined, under the current circumstances, that we will not hold the Utah Tour de Donut in 2020.

There are many factors which have been reviewed in making this determination and we feel the health and safety of our participants, volunteers, and sponsors is of the utmost importance.

We are hopeful we will bring the event back in 2021.

Thank you for your participation at any level in the past. We have appreciated your support in our event as we have raised funds for a variety of wonderful causes over the years.

So, so sad about this - but of course we totally get it. Many many thanks to the organizing group, we love the Tour de Donut!

My disappointment is immeasurable. I probably won't even leave the house today.

We were looking to finalize a June event this year... but with everything going on, we have decided it is not feasible to get everything finalized in time. We apologize.

A couple of our sponsors have asked up to move the event up, or they cannot sponsor. Once school starts in the fall, access to the Lone Peak High School becomes difficult on the weekends. We never know until after July 1, if we can use the facility... which makes it difficult to plan and prepare. Our police departments would love to participate, but at the end of the summer, many of the departments cannot spare them to participate... We are trying to encourage the high school cycling teams to participate, and several want to, but once July hits, their season runs almost every weekend through October... We are trying to find ways to broaden our reach and most of those ways point to an earlier event rather than a later one.

Oh man... I was so hoping to race it this year.

Ever wonder where the Five.12 Foundation got it's name and start?

Here is the experience that started it all!Have you ever thought about what 5 dollars and 12 cents can do for someone?

Years ago, founder Nick Greer had an experience raising money for a dear friend who was diagnosed with leukemia. He was 26 years old with a young family.

But he didn’t have insurance to pay for treatment.

In just two short days they raised over $64,000. It was unreal. People were so generous in their thoughts, words, and actions.

But on the second day, Nick’s daughter, who was six years old at the time, came up to him. She had something in her hand.

She handed it to him and said, “Dad, it’s everything I have. Will this be enough money to save Eric’s life?”

It was 5 dollars and 12 cents.

Here was a six-year-old girl with such great faith to give back, to love, to help people that she barely even knew.

$64,000 was a lot of money. But that 5 dollars and 12 cents? That was everything she had and she was willing to use it to help someone in need.

For that reason we created the Five.12 Foundation. Because even 5 dollars and 12 cents can make an impact and save people’s lives.

Great to see one of the causes we support getting some wonderful recognition!

Now that school is back in session, there are always opportunities to help load back packs up with food for school kids. They meet Wednesday evenings. If you can spare an hour, they would appreciate the assistance!

Doing good in the world is what we are all about!

Since 2005, the Rotary Club of Mount Timpanogos has delivered dictionaries to 3rd Grade Students in Northern Utah County. It is that time of year again and with the help of local Girl Scouts, we placed stickers in Dictionaries and have them ready for delivery and a presentation to schools in and around American Fork, Utah!

We also put stickers in books that will be delivered to 1st Grade Students in and around American Fork that will be from "The Book Fairy". One book a month for eight months out of the school year to help build each student's personal library!

This is funded with grants from the American Fork PARC Tax and the help of many hands including the Friends of the American Fork Library and the Rotary Club!

Along with "Combating Hunger" through the Utah Tour de Donut, We want to improve literacy in the young members of our community!

Thank you for your support!
