About Us

Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah
America's Toughest Stage Race

The Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah is one of only four UCI-sanctioned, multi-stage, American pro cycling events in 2012. Showcasing some of the world’s most prestigious teams and cyclists for six days in August, this event now attracts worldwide attention as the top international cycling event that follows the Tour de France. Nearly a decade since its opening circuit, the Tour of Utah today stands shoulder to shoulder with the most prestigious, professional bicycle stage race events as our answer to the greatest cycling challenges the world has to offer.

Bicycle racing offers its fans more opportunity to get
 close to the action than does any other professional sport. Accessibility to athletes along with a “free admission” model puts riders and spectators eyeball to eyeball before, during and after the event. Recognizing this unique opportunity, the Larry 
H. Miller Group of Companies has committed itself, for nearly a decade, to underwriting the Tour of Utah with significant financial and human resources. Thanks to a conservative, professional approach steeped in decades of major league sports management experience, combined with relationships throughout the sporting world, the Miller organization has supported the growth of an unparalleled athletic spectacle
that showcases the best of Utah’s diverse natural beauty,
 and the very best side of its people and culture.

Without a doubt, the Tour of Utah has achieved world-class status. Our event represents not just a forum for showcasing athletic perfection, but to communicate a broader message: how individual attention to personal health and physical activity at every age will lead to a stronger, healthier society. Our Echelon Project–new for 2012–has been established to integrate support for health and wellness programs into our race’s framework, and utilize athletes and Utah’s unique climate and surroundings as role models to demonstrate those programs to both Utahns and Americans, and on a world stage. In so doing, we believe the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah can foster a richer, more meaningful experience for fans and sponsors alike, while we promote a strong, self-sustaining event that can be considered “premier” in every sense of the word.
