Sage Riders MC
Years hosting National Hare & Hound events: 10+
Sage Riders MC has deep roots in the series, and over 50 years experience putting on a Hare and Hound event! If you made it to round 3 in April, expect to race on different terrain at round 4.
The Sage Riders…… 30 years old and still going strong! The Sage Riders Motorcycle Club was formed in 1980 with it’s first president being Robert Hutchings. The club’s first race was a motocross held at the “Lark” track near Lehi. Preston Gerber took over as club president in 1981 and the club sponsored it’s first desert race in the Jericho area which was won by Don Fuller of Fillmore, Utah.
In 1990/1991 the club’s first AMA sanctioned National Hare N Hound. Maintaining the title of “Shawn Gerber Memorial” the event was won by Larry Roeseler of California in both 1990 and 1991. After 22 years, the Sage Riders Club is stronger than ever and while we continue to sponsor excellent races and enjoy our trail rides, we remain leaders in the fight for motorized access to public lands.

The Terrain
Racers of the Sage Riders can expect to start in the sand dunes, and ventures out into open valleys and sand washes, before heading into higher elevation. It is not likely that the region will receive moisture, and riders can expect dust if there is no rain fall.
Terrain In The Area
Little Sahara Recreation Area (LSRA) is 60,000 acres of sagebrush flats, juniper-covered hills, and free moving sand dunes located in Juab County, Utah. Less than a two-hour drive from Salt Lake City, LSRA provides an experience unlike any other for OHV fun and camping. Visitors frequent the recreation area for the challenges of climbing the 700-foot tall Sand Mountain, network of dirt trails around Black Mountain, low-lying dunes for beginners, and the White Sand Dune bowls.
