Wasatch All-Road: May the Yeti Be With You!

Conquer the "Wasatch Wall" in Utah’s Toughest High-Altitude Hammerfest

Prepare for an "abominable adventure" at the Wasatch All-Road Gravel Race, widely considered the most diabolical challenge in the Utah Gravel Series. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Heber Valley and the western slopes of the Uinta Mountains, this race is "not for the faint of legs". Riders will face a brutal mix of high-speed pavement, chunky gravel, and the infamous "Wasatch Wall"—a 12-mile ascent that tops out at over 10,000 feet with punishing grades exceeding 13%.

The Wasatch All-Road isn't just about the "Type 2" fun of massive vertical gain; it’s a premier cycling festival designed by former Tour of Utah winner Jeff Louder. While the "Full Yeti" course will make you question your life choices, the reward is an unmatched sense of accomplishment and a world-class after-party at the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center. With a hefty prize purse on the line and a legendary raffle, it’s a high-stakes, high-elevation party where you might just spot the Yeti yourself.
