The 2013 Larry H. Miller Tour of Utah is the tenth edition of the Tour of Utah. Once again, the race was included on the UCI America Tour, with a UCI classification of 2.1. As such, the race is only open to teams on the UCI Pro Tour, UCI Professional Continental and UCI Continental circuits. The race took place between August 6–11, 2013 as a six-day, six-stage race, with some major differences to the prior editions, such as the elimination of the prologue, individual time trial, or team time trial. The 2013 Tour of Utah was one of six UCI-ranked stage races in the United States in 2013.
After finishing high overall in previous editions, American Tom Danielson of Cannondale–Drapac won the overall title.
In July, the Tour of Utah announced a sixteen-team field, made up of five UCI ProTeams (down from six), three UCI Professional Continental teams (down from five) and eight UCI Continental teams (up from six), thus giving the race a total of sixteen-teams (down from seventeen). In total, ten of the sixteen-teams that competed in 2013 were invited to return to this event, as well as Jamis–Hagens Berman (previously Jamis–Sutter Home) who competed in the 2011 and 2010 editions. UCI ProTeams Cannondale, RadioShack–Leopard, and Orica–GreenEDGE are based in Italy, Luxembourg, and Australia, respectively; UCI Professional Continental Team MTN–Qhubeka is based in South Africa, while UCI Continental Team Funvic Brasilinvest–São José dos Campos is based in Brazil. The remaining eleven teams are based in the United States.
