5 Canyons Bike Challenge – September 17, 2022 @ 7:00 AM
5 Canyons is one of the most daunting—and beautiful—cycling challenges in the country, ascending more than 14,000 feet over 116 miles through all five of the Salt Lake Valley’s picturesque riding canyons before finishing at the Utah Capitol building. Comprising three HC climbs and two Category 2 climbs, the ride has more vert than almost any other ride in America and certainly the steepest average gradient. If you think you have what it takes, rally your friends and come join us in September!
5 Canyons a bit much to bite off? Come, join us anyway and ride just one, two, three, or four of the canyons. Or push the easy button and ride the straight shot from the start line to the finish line (25 miles). You don’t have to be an elite cyclist to help make a difference.
Always held on the second odd-numbered Saturday in September, 5 Canyons takes advantage of Utah’s most brilliant month for riding. The canyons provide cool temperatures, colorful foliage, and stunning views. And, there is no more abundance of beautiful canyons in all the world than along Utah’s Wasatch Front. The event is literally a breath of fresh air from start to finish.
THE FIGHT
All proceeds from 5 Canyons benefit Wheels of Justice (including Wings of Justice), a nonprofit dedicated to putting an end to child abuse. The inspiration for the ride is that Ain’t No Mountain High Enough to keep us from fighting for the most vulnerable among us, our children.
In addition to your registration fee, please consider including your family and friends in the fight by asking them to donate a penny for each foot of elevation you climb during the event. In this way, they can join you in showing that Ain’t No Mountain High Enough!
Wheels of Justice gratefully receives all donations, big or small. We have virtually no overhead, so every penny you donate goes to the programs we support. You may deliver or mail your cash or in-kind donation to the following:

Now, open Safari (the iPhone internet browser) and go to smile.amazon.com. Tap the “share” button iPhone Share icon on the bottom of the screen. Tap the “Add to Home Screen” icon.
