RIDE DETAILS

Cycling is one of the many ways to participate in Huntsman Cancer Foundation SportsFest, offering riders an unforgettable, single-day journey through the stunning landscapes of northern and central Utah. Formerly known as the Huntsman 140, this non-competitive, fully supported cycling experience features a wide range of distances designed for both first-time riders and seasoned cyclists.

Whether you’re taking on a shorter route or pushing yourself across 140 miles, riding at SportsFest is about more than the miles. It’s about community, purpose, and coming together to end cancer together.

Rider Perks & Fundraising Impact

Every registered cyclist will receive an event t-shirt at check-in as a thank you for being part of SportsFest. Riders who fundraise $500 or more will also earn the coveted 2026 SportsFest cycling jersey, a meaningful symbol of their impact and commitment to the mission.

Fundraising is not required to ride, but participants and teams are encouraged to set goals and invite others to support their journey. With 100% of every donation benefiting Huntsman Cancer Institute, every fundraiser and every gift helps drive meaningful progress against cancer.

Additional incentives and rewards are available—visit our Incentives Page to learn more.
