The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah today revealed route details for the UCI 2.HC stage race scheduled for August 3-9.
The seven-day race will travel to Northern Utah for the first time and will make a run through Idaho during the opening stage. The Salt Lake City circuit race returns for stage 5, along with some slight tweaks to the Saturday “Queen Stage” that finishes at Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort.
The 1145.85km race, which features 15,679.5 meters of elevation gain, will visit four new counties, three new state parks and one new ski resort over the seven days of racing. The first four days will traverse new terrain along the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains. New routes are on tap for the Salt Lake City circuit race on Friday and for the start of Saturday’s Queen Stage.
