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.

In 2012, the event was cancelled due to financial mismanagement and the USAC announced the event would not be held again.
