About the Event

Kick off the gravel season with an adventure on the edge of Utah's iconic salt flats. The Salty Lizard Gravel Race, the opening event of the Utah Gravel Series, takes place on Saturday, 4 April 2026, starting from the town of Wendover. Offering three classic distances—the epic El Lagarto (97.7 mi), the challenging Lickety Split (73.2 mi), and the accessible Little Lizzie (36.5 mi)—the race delivers fast, hard-packed routes with over 80% gravel and stunning high-desert scenery. More than just a competition, it's a full weekend of recreation, with riders encouraged to stay and explore the casinos and unique landscape of the Bonneville Salt Flats region. With its unique character, fantastic community vibe, and "Recreation Revved Up" ethos, it's a must-do early-season event for gravel enthusiasts.
