About
Anthem Sports Tours is a prominent organization known for producing and managing high-quality cycling events and tours across the United States. One of their most distinguished events is the Tour of the Catskills, a challenging and scenic road cycling race held annually in the Catskill Mountains of New York. This event, a staple in the regional cycling calendar, attracts cyclists ranging from dedicated amateurs to seasoned professionals.
The Tour of the Catskills offers participants three route options: 27 miles, 52 miles, and the flagship 74-mile course. The routes wind through the picturesque Catskill Mountains, offering a combination of beautiful landscapes and rigorous climbs. The most famous and demanding section of the race is the Devil’s Kitchen Climb, a steep ascent near the end of the 74-mile course that features gradients as steep as 22%, making it a true test of endurance.
Anthem Sports ensures that the event is well-supported with professional mechanical assistance, SAG support, motorcycle escorts, and police at key intersections. This attention to detail and support helps create a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.
The event, held in Tannersville, NY, also embraces the local culture, offering a post-race celebration and opportunities to explore the charming Catskills region, making it not just a race but a full weekend experience.
