EVENT UPDATE
We have made the decision to retire Crusher in the Tushar.
Since its founding, Crusher in the Tushar has played a pivotal role in shaping gravel cycling, challenging athletes on one of the sport’s most demanding and memorable courses.
We are deeply grateful to founder Burke Swindlehurst for his vision, the greater Beaver community for its incredible hospitality and partnership, and the athletes, volunteers and partners who have made Crusher such a special event over the years.
Our thoughts remain with the Beaver and Piute County communities as they continue to recover and rebuild following this year’s devastating wildfires and flooding.
Thank you for being part of Crusher’s history and helping build a lasting legacy in the sport.
For questions, please contact crusher@ltevents.zendesk.com.
With gratitude,
The Life Time Athletic Events Team
Fire Update
Due to the ongoing impact of the Cottonwood Fire on Beaver, Eagle Point, local emergency resources, and the surrounding community, Crusher in the Tushar will not take place as planned this year.
This was an incredibly difficult decision, but given the current situation and the safety considerations for athletes, volunteers, staff, partners, and the local community, we are confident it is the right one.
Registered athletes have been emailed directly with available options.
Our thoughts are with the Beaver community, Eagle Point, first responders, local officials, and everyone affected by the Cottonwood Fire.

What’s a Tushar?
The Tushars are among Utah’s tallest mountain ranges, housing several peaks over 12,000 feet in elevation and featuring Utah’s highest road at an elevation of 11,500 feet. Straddling Beaver and Piute Counties and nestled in the expansive Fishlake National Forest, the Tushars possess stunning vistas, palpable solitude and nearly unlimited opportunities for unconfined recreation.
Welcome to Beaver
This uniquely formatted race begins in historic downtown Beaver, Utah, the birthplace of famed outlaw Butch Cassidy, and finishes at Eagle Point Resort. Featuring a 60/40 split of gravel and dirt to tarmac sections, riders explore the stunning backcountry of the remote Tushar Mountains and Fishlake National Forest.
