Fire Road 100K - Cedar City UT

Anybody done this race? Technically it is a MTB race, part of the Leadville Series. I am signed up for this and am thinking about using my gravel bike instead of the MTB. Looking for advice.

Which bike did you wind up using?
This race was cancelled in 2016 - but WILL BE BACK IN AUGUST 2017 under new management! Stay tuned for information! :-)

What happened to this race in 2016?! \n \nI did this race in 2015 and planned to ride it again in 2016. The 2016 race was cancelled at the eleventh hour without an explanation or apology. I am/was very disappointed in the race leadership for claiming they had an online registration glitch when they were working on terminating the 2016 event.

Hi All!

We honestly aren't sure what happened in 2016 (we heard rumors that we won't repeat...); but clearly someone dropped the ball.

I was trying to register myself, and was also told there was a "registration glitch." I went to the "show and go," informal ride on the day the race was supposed to happen and rode the 100k with a friend. I loved the route so much that we decided to add it to our Planet Ultra schedule if no one else stepped up to keep the event alive. No one has. So here we go!

PLANET ULTRA will be "taking over" and hosting the Cedar City Fire Road 100K (and 60K) on August 19, 2017. We've already had meetings with Cedar City and the prior "course directors" who helped coordinate aid stations and on route support. Everyone is on board with us and we're super excited to host a race on this world class route!

We also have another gravel race planned in St George area on June 10th. SAVE THE DATE details are here: http://www.GravelGrinder.com

We're working on getting a new website up and registration open by mid-January at the latest. Please keep in touch with the news here: https://www.facebook.com/Planet-Ultra-221476240359/

We hope you'll join us in August. We promise to host a top notch event!
