577 riders from across 26 states lined up for the race Saturday morning. Packing 10,400ft elevation, a mountaintop finish and 60 percent gravel surfaces, the Crusher in the Tushar is rated as one of the hardest gravel rides on the calendar.
“Our 10th running of the Crusher in the Tushar is a year late, but so much greater than I ever could have imagined it when I started back in 2010,” said Burke Swindlehurst, founder and event director of Crusher in the Tushar.
This year’s Tushar was the first since 2019 after the 2020 edition was canceled due to COVID complications. Swindlehurst thanked event owners Life Time, which acquired the race 18 months ago.
