Belgian Waffle Ride Utah Cedar City 2025

Sixth Annual Belgian Waffle Ride Utah in Cedar City

Welkom to the third stop of the Belgian Waffle Ride Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel Series…

Shorter Waffle Course of roughly 100-miles. Perfect tune-up for Unbound.

This is the sixth edition of the Cedar City event. We're excited to offer something completely different with the Cedar City location and give riders a chance to race on a gravel, sand, and rock route, at altitude, against some of the best cyclists from the road, gravel, MTB, and unroad scenes. We have created a new route that won’t have crazy single-track sectors but will offer a dynamic array of different, but ‘rippable’ unroad spiciness.

Cedar City has always been incredibly inviting and accommodating of the event’s needs and will really roll out the red, yellow, and black carpet for us. This year, we are excited to be able to offer the essential elements of a proper BWR with waffles, cycling in its extreme, and beer from a great brewery. We will also have a pre-race gathering on Friday night before the race, and on race day, we all will feast on Belgian waffles, a delectable unroad course, and more Belgian waffles, plus some Belgian ale.

The BWR Utah, known as the **Hell of the South (West)**, has a parcourse that is quite the juxtaposition to the ones run in California or elsewhere. The only Euro-style Spring Classic on American soil, the BWR CA is a Road Race punctuated by two dozen unroad sectors (read: dirt for 55 miles) over roughly 137 miles and 11,000 feet of climbing. Like last year, the Utah BWR in Cedar City will be an Unroad Race of over 100-miles broken up with roughly nine road sectors and far less climbing than San Diego, at ~7,500 feet. Regardless of the vital stats, the BWR Utah race will offer the same type of insanity, challenge, and unparalleled experience that has made the BWR notorious and noteworthy.

As the third stop on the Quad-Tripel Crown calendar, the BWR Utah edition will draw world-class cyclists from around the globe, including numerous former WorldTour riders, defending champions from BWR CA, and many more who will partake in the unique challenge of the day. Riders coming to win will have their work cut out for them. And riders of all abilities will tackle the same course at the same time after the start gun goes off and an initial neutral section of four miles is completed.

Introducing the Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel:

In addition to Bozeman, the 2025 BWR calendar will feature the Quad-Tripel Crown of Gravel—a newly augmented, formidable challenge comprising four of the most demanding races across the West. Riders will vie for the prestigious “Quad-Tripel Crown” title by completing at least three of the four events. Bozeman will be host to the finale of the Series.

Quad-Tripel Crown Key Features:

Four Iconic Races: AZ (March 1), CA (April 27), UT (May 24), MT (June 29).
Diverse Locations: From desert chaparral to coastal canyons, high desert vistas, and Montana's rugged backcountry beauty.
Elite Competition: Attracts top-tier cyclists globally, competing for prize purses.
Prestigious Recognition: A major achievement in the gravel cycling community.
Comprehensive Challenge: Tests physical endurance, unroad riding skills, mental toughness, strategy, and adaptability.
