SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Join the Huntsman SportsFest 140—a 140-mile ride through stunning Utah landscapes—on June 14, 2025 in support of life-saving cancer research at Huntsman Cancer Institute. As the kickoff to the Utah Triple Crank, this epic endurance challenge is your chance to make every mile count in the fight against cancer.
Now in its 16th year, SportsFest brings together thousands of community members to run, walk, cycle, play, and volunteer, with a 2025 goal to raise $550,000 in support of life-saving cancer research, prevention, and education. Since its launch, the event has generated more than $6.5 million to fund innovative breakthroughs at Huntsman Cancer Institute.
The SportsFest 140 is the crown jewel for cyclists—offering a scenic, professionally supported long-distance ride for those ready to go the extra mile in the fight against cancer. It’s also the first leg of the Utah Triple Crank, a prestigious endurance challenge for cyclists who complete three 100+ mile rides: SportsFest 140, the Iron Lung Ride, and the LoToJa Classic.
For cyclists looking for other options, SportsFest also includes routes of 16, 30, 50, 80, and 100 miles, making it accessible for riders of all skill levels. Whether you’re conquering the 140 or pedaling a shorter route, every turn of the crank brings us closer to a cancer-free future.
Participants can also direct their fundraising to specific cancer types, allowing every dollar raised to make a targeted impact. In 2024, the addition of the 1K Stroll and SportsQuest scavenger hunt opened new doors for families and casual participants, and both events are back for 2025 alongside the Kids Fun K, 5K, and 10K Trail Run—which now features a new route that winds through the heart of Huntsman Cancer Institute itself.
New this year: Riders and participants who raise $200 or more will receive an invitation to a special celebration dinner on Friday, June 13, a meaningful way to connect and gear up before race day.
“Huntsman SportsFest 140 is more than just a bike ride—it’s a bold commitment to push limits, rally support, and ride with purpose,” said Jen Murano, Director of Events at Huntsman Cancer Foundation. “It embodies the spirit of SportsFest and the determination of our community to defeat cancer.”
Registration is open now at www.huntsmansportsfest.com and closes at midnight on Sunday, June 8. Onsite registration will also be available at packet pickup on Friday, June 13.
Take on the ride. Fuel the fight. Be part of Huntsman SportsFest 140.
