Haute Route San Francisco

Save to Favorites

Haute Route is the world's most prestigious multi-day amateur cycling event series, delivering an unmatched professional-level experience both on and off the bike. Taking place in the world’s most iconic cycling destinations, the events are timed, ranked and fully supported with premium services typically reserved for the pros.

Haute Route was conceived in 2010 by global marketing & event company OC Sport. The original event took place in the Alps and grew from there to include destinations like the infamous Alpe d'Huez (a town you might recognize from the Tour de France). Now the Haute Route calendar has expanded to include three new multi-day U.S. events.

Volunteers are needed to assist with the first ever Haute Route San Francisco event taking place from April 20 - 22, with each stage taking place in a different location in the Bay Area.
