RICHFIELD, Utah (March 2026) — Cyclists seeking clean air, quiet backroads, and a touch of Utah history are invited to join the annual Sevier Valley Rooster Ride on Saturday, August 15, 2026. Starting and finishing at Richfield’s Lions Park, this premier road cycling event continues its tradition of showcasing the “hidden gems” of Sevier County to hundreds of riders from across the region.
The event’s name pays homage to the Sevier Valley’s historic “Rooster Valley”, the premier pheasant hunting destination. Today, the “hunt” has shifted from game to an epic riding experience. Participants will pedal through the heart of Sevier County—famously dubbed “Utah’s Trail County”—on routes that wind past historic sites, including the ancient rock art of Fremont Indian State Park. Located in the heart of Utah, Sevier County is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, boasting over 2,000 miles of trails. Richfield, the county seat, serves as the gateway to the Sevier Valley’s scenic beauty and welcoming rural charm.
“Rooster Ride 2025 had just shy of 400 cyclists spinning tires throughout the county, we are looking forward to welcoming more riders this year!” Levi Maxfield, Event Coordinator. “This ride has something for everyone, 3 rider levels, fully stocked aid stations, food, and fun!
The 2026 Sevier Valley Rooster Ride features three fully-supported courses:
- 100-Mile Century: A rigorous course with 3,500 feet of climbing through picturesque canyons and rural landscapes.
- 62-Mile Metric Century: A balanced route with moderate climbs and stunning vistas.
- 37-Mile Ride: A recreational option featuring gentle hills, perfect for casual riders.
The Rooster Ride is renowned for its high level of support and hospitality. Riders are treated to well-stocked aid stations staffed by the “friendliest volunteers on the planet,” offering hydration, snacks, and mechanical assistance. The experience concludes with a festive post-ride lunch, a welcoming vendor village, custom finisher medals, and premium swag bags.
