History
The Tour of Utah began as an amateur race in 2000. It was originally called the Thanksgiving Point Stage Race. It received its final name in 2004. Originally organized by cycling enthusiasts, the race was purchased by the Larry H. Miller Group of Companies, Larry H. Miller's holding company, in 2007. The tour received UCI classification (2.2) in 2006. However, the 2007 edition was postponed due to lack of sponsorship.
The 2008 and 2009 editions subsequently returned to United States National Racing Calendar. After the 2010 edition, the Tour of Utah was placed in the UCI America Tour, and regained UCI classification (2.1). Five UCI ProTeams were among the sixteen teams competing in the 2011 and 2013 editions, and six were among the seventeen teams competing in the 2012 edition. In the 2014 edition, six of the sixteen teams were UCI ProTeams. In 2015, the Tour rating was elevated to 2.HC, one of the few UCI-sanctioned, multi-stage, pro cycling events in North America.
In 2010, only 71 of the initial 140 riders finished. After receiving 2.1 status in 2011, a stronger field participated; 88 of the initial 120 competitors finished. In September 2014, it was announced that the race was promoted to 2.HC status, from 2015 and onwards.
With the Tour of California ending in 2019, the United States has no event that is part of the UCI World Tour. This made the Tour of Utah the highest level multi-day road cycling race in the United States. Additionally, it was tied with the one-day Maryland Cycling Classic as the highest overall road cycling race in the United States.
The 2020 and 2021 editions of the Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah were cancelled due to safety concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tour of Utah operations were licensed to Medalist Sports in 2021. The event was cancelled again for 2022. On December 22, 2021, Medalist Sports stated it would no longer pursue the return of the Tour of Utah.
