The Third Annual SLUG Cat Presented by New Belgium Brewing

On Saturday, May 23rd, SLUG, held its Third Annual SLUG Cat Alleycat Race through the streets of Salt Lake City. Over 40 riders braved a torrential downpour early in the race, zipping across the city to complete various tasks—from lip-syncing ABBA to helping put together a children’s bike—within the race’s time limit. Winners were announced at Velo City Bags’ storefront on Pierpont Ave., at an after party set to a selection of groovy 45s from DJ Nix Beat and Jesse Stewart.

This year’s SLUG Cat, Presented by New Belgium Brewing, winners were:

Women’s First Place – Jessie Gilmore
Women’s Second Place – Julie Parma
Women’s Third Place – Meredith Lenz

Men’s First Place – Joergen Trepp
