Haley Batten x Park City
Before punching her ticket to her first Olympics and winning World Cups, Haley Batten grew up riding in Park City. Haley's path to racing at the highest level was cut into the local hills and at her own two wheels—the vast network of trails right here in town. These longs stretches of velvety dirt were her original inspiration and allowed her to grow into the competitor she is today. She knew from a young age that she wanted to compete at the highest level and got that chance in 2020, representing the U.S. in the Tokyo Olympics. She'll get it again in just a couple of weeks in the Paris games. And now on the eve of her second Olympics, Haley has the support of her hometown, memories of mountain biking in Park City, and the young women she inspires to follow in her footsteps.
