RIDE DISTANCES AND INFORMATION

The Huntsman SportsFest ride, previously known as the Huntsman 140, offers an exhilarating journey through the picturesque landscapes of northern and central Utah. This single-day event is non-competitive and fully supported, providing a range of distance options to cater to both novice and experienced cyclists. It's a perfect opportunity for everyone to participate, enjoy the ride, and contribute to a meaningful cause.

At check-in, every cyclist will receive a Huntsman SportsFest t-shirt as a token of appreciation for their participation. Additionally, those who raise $500 or more in donations will be awarded the prestigious Huntsman SportsFest cycling jersey. For more details on these and other rewards, please visit our incentives page. 

While fundraising is not a prerequisite for joining the ride, we encourage all participants and teams to set ambitious goals and engage in fundraising efforts. With every contribution directly supporting innovative cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute for both children and adults, each fundraiser and donation plays a crucial role in advancing our mission.
