Rebecca’s Private Idaho

September 3-6, 2020

Join one of the world’s top professional endurance athletes, the “Queen of Pain” Rebecca Rusch, in celebrating her hometown with the 8th annual “gravel grinder” and afterparty. It all comes down to the day of truth on Sunday with a whopping 1,500 participants having the option of doing the Tater Tot (18.75 miles), French Fry (56 miles), or Baked Potato (100 miles). The courses take riders through some of the most scenic lands just outside of the Sun Valley area’s back door and into the Challis National Forest. For the truly hardcore, enter the Queen’s Stage Race which takes in three stages in four days covering stunning terrain. Aside from the races, check out gear expos, mini-clinics, food and libations, live music, and the famous Gelande Quaffing competition all in the heart of Ketchum.
