Salt to Saint Relay Bike Ride 2024

The Advocates are ready for another Salt to Saint biking odyssey. We’ve been a part of this thrilling ride in the past, and we’re ready to take on the challenge again this year.  

The great trek begins September 20th and 21st. Register now and begin to prepare for Utah’s greatest cycling adventure.  

What Is the Salt to Saint?  

Salt to Saint is a 421-mile bike ride along Highway 89 from Salt Lake City to Saint George. It is equal parts fun and challenging, allowing you to explore the otherworldly Utah scenery while biking at your own pace.

You don’t have to do the whole ride, and you do not have to do it alone. 

You can ride in a team of eight or four or go solo if you wish. The event coordinators will help you find a team if you need one.   

The journey is divided into 24 legs, ranging between 11 and 23 miles long. Each individual or team must determine what parts of the race they want to participate in.   

Start times for teams and individuals will be posted after registration closes.  

Participation includes the following:  

• A well-marked course (signage telling riders where to turn)  

• Live satellite tracking  

• Excellent driving directions for your support vehicle  

• Cool finisher medals (If you finish)  

• A good-looking T-Shirt  

• Team bag with goodies from sponsors  

• Vehicle markings  

• Well-planned, safe transition areas  

• Port-a-potties or other restrooms along the route  

• Accurate timing   

• Salt To Saint relay window decals for every rider  

• Great finish line events, including music, drinks, and other goodies  

Biking Safety Tips  

Keep in mind that this is a ride, not a race. A ride is a cycling event that does not involve road closures or police support to control traffic. A race is a cycling event with a closed course, and the primary focus is to be the fastest team to finish.  

The rules of the road still apply to all bikers participating in Salt to Saint.  

Here are some other safety tips to abide by: 

• Wear a helmet: Helmets are estimated to decrease head and brain injury risk by 65-88%. 

• Stay visible: Use lights, reflectors, and bright clothing to make yourself seen.  

• Ride in groups: Cyclists who ride with others are less likely to be struck by a motor vehicle while riding (thanks to increased visibility).  

• Follow the rules of the road: In general, bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as motor vehicles while on public roadways. Follow all signs and signals to keep everyone safe.  

• Never ride under the influence: About one-third of fatal bike crashes involve alcohol.  

• Keep your phone put away: Just like with motor vehicle drivers, texting while riding dramatically increases the risk of a crash.
