A perfect training tool for potential Solo and Relay Team racers, and highly recommended for would-be Voyager* racers! There's no better way to ensure success at the Hoodoo 500 than to pre-ride the course and do a full final tune-up for the big event! Also great training for every other 500-mile race. *All riders who successfully complete the 4-Day Training Camp will be accepted to race in the Voyager division if desired.

This is a serious, hard-core training camp and not a cycling vacation or tour. If you'd like to preview the Hoodoo route at a leisurely pace over the course of a week, enjoy the scenery, take tons of pictures and relax and have fun on vacation, join us for the Tour of Southern Utah in August.

Entry fee of $750* includes: Four days of hardcore cycling, covering every mile of the Hoodoo 500 race route; four nights hotel accommodations (double occupancy), support vehicle providing snacks and lunch along the route, and goodie bag. You're on your own for breakfast and dinner. Riders preferring a single room may pay an additional $250. 
*A $100 late fee applies after May 1st.

Registration is now available via active.com. To save $$ on fees, pay by check using the mail-in form.
