With the biggest Pro race in Utah fast approaching, there are several important elements of this great event we want everyone to be aware of.

First thing; the 1,000 Warriors race, which covers the same course as the Pros from Park City to Snowbird on Saturday, August 22nd, closes for online registration Thursday, July 21st.

Race the Tour of Utah crit! We will have nearly a full calendar of categories on Sunday, August 23rd beginning at 9:00am with Cat 4/5, Women 1/2/3/4, Masters 40+, Cat 1/2/3 and a Kids race. Race flyer and registration information is available at Sportsbaseonline, go to:  https://new.sportsbaseonline.com/events/index.xhtml?categoryId=10730

The Tour also is in need of volunteers, please take the opportunity to get a front row seat to watch the Pros and help keep this race in Utah. We need survey takers, course marshals and race "Experts" that can roam the crowds and answer questions about bike racing. We also need host housing for Pro teams visiting Utah to race. Go to www.tourofutah.com and click on the Volunteer button to sign up for any of these positions.

Finally, we are offering several exciting "backstage" opportunities for the Tour of Utah. These packages help raise funds to insure we can keep putting this great event on while giving someone unique opportunities like: dinner with Bob Roll, a training ride with Floyd Landis and Team OUCH, ride in the race caravan, guaranteed entry into LoToJa 2010, VIP passes and much more.
