Ultimate Challenge

America's Toughest One-Day Cycling Adventure

Want to ride one of the same Tour of Utah stages as the world’s pros? Actually, want to ride one of the toughest Tour of Utah stages the pros ride?

If you said yes, then know we’re applauding, but also freaking out a little for you—the Ultimate Challenge isn’t for the weak hearted. There’s a reason it’s called America’s Toughest One-Day Cycling Adventure. But if you’ve got the gall and the wattage to crank up some equally gorgeous and steep climbs, then the Ultimate Challenge is also a heck of a lot of fun and a great way to experience the Tour first hand.

The Ultimate Challenge is a Gran Fondo taking place on August 5th and hosted by the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah. The ride follows the Stage 6 “Queen Stage” route of the Tour of Utah with the same climbs and high altitude finish that the pros will race to later in the day.
