The Doughman Raises Dough for the Co-op in 2017

The Durham Bike Co-op is lucky to have friends and supporters organizing this year's DOUGHMAN event! On May 27, the DOUGHMAN will host its ninth self-propelled culinary tour of Durham and the Bike Co-op will benefit.  All funds raised from the race will be donated to the Co-op. So, don't hesitate -- sign up today to support your friendly neighborhood community bike workshop!

We're really thrilled with this great news as we have learned that the Tour de Fat (our largest fundraiser for the past five years) will be relocating from Durham to Charlotte this summer. We feel lucky to be the beneficiary of a fun, new, local event in 2017. The DOUGHMAN is just as wacky, too, so get your costumes together.

Perhaps the world's stand-alone "quadrathlon," the DOUGHMAN combines run/walk, bike and "swim" events with some competitive eating thrown in for good measure.  You'll have the most unique Memorial Day weekend experience of anyone you know! But you can invite your friends because it's actually a relay race.

Here's how it works:

1) Find 3 friends
2) Name your team
3) Register your 4-person team online (requires $150 sign-up fee)
4) Share the awesome news on social media to help your team raise dough for the Co-op
5) Check in as a group on Saturday morning, May 27 -- event begins at 8:00am
6) Combine your powers to pull off 4 unique legs of the relay and enjoy some seriously awesome local food from the four sponsoring restaurants (vegetarians, fear not -- there is a veg and vegan friendly leg just for you)
7) Hang out afterwards for some awesome activities co-hosted by the Co-op alongside a post-event food truck rodeo

Space is limited so form your team and sign up today!
