Rebecca's Private Idaho
Rebecca's Private Idaho runs from Ketchum on 1 September 2026 over 165 kilometres of Idaho backcountry gravel.
Ketchum sits high in the Sawtooth valleys and the route climbs from there, so altitude is the first thing to plan for. If you live at sea level, arriving a couple of days out and racing on feel rather than on your usual power numbers is the difference between a good day and a long walk home.
The second thing is dust. Late-summer Idaho gravel is dry, loose and deep in the corners, and a field this size turns the opening climb into a dust cloud. Glasses you can actually see through earn their place, as does a plan for keeping grit out of your drink mix.
Support is spread thinly across a long route with no phone signal for stretches of it. Carry more water than you think you need, and know what you would do with a torn sidewall.
