Crusher in the Tushar Returns with New Race Distance and Expanded Prize Purse

April 30, 2025

Life Time introduces the "Half Crushed" option and $8,500 in rewards for July 12th event

Beaver, Utah (April 28, 2025) /ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Life Time, the nation’s premier healthy lifestyle brand, has announced the addition of a new race distance and expanded prize purse to the renowned Crusher in the Tushar. Following the cancellation of the event due to wildfires in 2024, this exciting addition is part of a highly anticipated return for the July 12, 2025, event.

Since its inception in 2011, the Crusher in the Tushar has challenged riders with its grueling 69-mile course through the stunning and rugged terrain of Utah’s Tushar Mountains. This year, Life Time is introducing a new, shorter distance option called “Half Crushed,” with the goal of making the event more inclusive to a broader range of cyclists looking to take on the Tushar’s. “Half Crushed” will offer 37 miles and 6,300 feet of climbing, perfect for those looking to test their limits without committing to the full course.

In addition to the new race distance, Life Time is excited to announce an expanded prize purse of $8,500 split evenly across the Pro/Open categories. This increase underscores Life Time’s commitment to supporting cycling and rewarding the incredible talent and dedication of the athletes. The increased prize money will undoubtedly attract top-tier competitors, raising the stakes and the excitement for all involved.

“We are incredibly excited to bring back Crusher in the Tushar with these new additions,” said Kimo Seymour, President of Events and Media at Life Time. “The introduction of the ‘Half Crushed’ and the expanded prize purse are part of our ongoing efforts to innovate and elevate the experience for our participants. After the disappointment of last year’s cancellation, we are more determined than ever to make this year’s event unforgettable.”
