The International Tour de Toona is a stage bicycle race held in Central Pennsylvania each July. The International Tour de Toona bicycle race started as a one day race and was initially called the Tour de Toona because it was based in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The current event has become the largest pro-am cycling event in North America and has stages spanning Blair, Cambria, Bedford, and Somerset Counties in Pennsylvania. The name was changed to The International for the 2002 edition of the race and then to the International Tour de Toona for the 2004 edition.

In 2008, tour organizers scaled back the event to a one day criterium race in downtown Altoona. According to organizers, this "strategic downsizing" will allow the Tour to come back stronger for the 2009 event. [http://www.tourdetoona.com/home/main/index.htm]
