This is the weekend following Labor Day which means a few things: lower lodging rates, fewer people in the area, less traffic on Trail Creek, and the Queen Stage now takes place on Saturday.
Baked Potato| Twice Baked Potato
The Baked Potato Route will remain around 100 miles, but feature more elevation, and take you to an entirely new realm, with views of Idaho's towering Lost River Range and the state's tallest mountain: Borah Peak.
The Twice Baked Potato route is a new, longer course at 126 miles, and will include all of the Baked Potato route plus additional roads from the former Baked Potato route.
The verdict is out -- Deliberation is ongoing about the retention of QSR in a new form. Our goal is to introduce some big new changes to the event in 2026, but we're treading lightly here and need you to weigh in on the importance of the multi-day race format. After the race in 2025, make sure to let us know how you feel!
