Lehigh Valley Cycling Club Donut Derby

The Lehigh Valley Cycling Club Donut Derby is back for 2024!

Labor Day, September 2nd, 2024

The Donut Derby is a fun 36 mile race with a twist: Get a 3 minute time credit for each donut eaten at stops positioned at mile markers 12 and 24.  Donut-adjusted time determines the winner in several age categories.  A complementary lunch for DD racers and an awards ceremony follow the ride. 

 

Each person completing the course will be entered in a raffle to win a variety of prizes.  Want to improve your chances?  We’re offering virtual donuts for $1.00 each.  Every Virtual Donut purchased will give you an additional chance in the raffle. You must be present at the drawing after the race to win a prize.
