In 2008, tour organizers scaled back the event to a one day criterium race in downtown Altoona. On May 22, 2009, it was announced that the 2009 Tour de Toona would be canceled due to a lack of sponsorship. The 2010 event was again a single day criterium race in downtown Altoona In 2011 the event returned to being a 4 day 4 stage race for both men and women. In 2012, the event was cancelled due to financial reasons and an announcement was made stating the event would not be held again.
