SNOWBIRD HILL CLIMB

The 30th annual Snowbird Bicycle Hill Climb, the oldest bike race in Utah, will be staged Saturday. Cyclists will race up Little Cottonwood Canyon on a challenging 10-mile course that ascends 3,500 vertical feet.

This year's race has been rerouted due to construction on 9400 South. Saturday's race will begin at 8 a.m. at the Swamp Lot on 8099 S. Wasatch Blvd., continues along Wasatch Boulevard to North Little Cottonwood Canyon Road to the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon and up to Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort. Vehicle traffic in Little Cottonwood Canyon will be restricted beginning at 8 a.m.

Participants who complete the Bicycle Hill Climb have the option of jumping on their mountain bikes and continuing up to Snowbird's Hidden Peak to complete the Ultra-Widowmaker portion of the course. The Ultra-Widowmaker is a 4-mile climb over 3,000 vertical feet to a peak elevation of 11,000 feet, offering views of the Wasatch Mountains and Salt Lake Valley. Both races will conclude with an awards ceremony at the base of Snowbird at 10:30 a.m., featuring prizes, a raffle and live music.
