Rated a Top Five Gravel Event by Global Cycling Network and one of the 25 Best Bike Rides in the World by Outside Magazine, it has taken place every September since 2013 in the backcountry of Sun Valley and Ketchum, Idaho.

Our COURSE Offerings

Taking place over multiple days, we offer 19 distinctly different ways to participate!

Choose your own adventure: We feature an optional stage race component for those seeking a multi-day challenge beyond the signature main event. New this year, you can ride or race one, two or three stages, allowing you to mix and match our routes. Participants now have a greater competitive advantage suited to their ability level across multiple days.

Stage 1: Harriman

35 Mi | 2,599'

A mix of technical single and double track trails in the valley floor beneath the towering Boulder Mountains. The day finishes with a fun, outdoor podium presentation back in Ketchum.

Stage 2: Dollarhide

50 Mi | 2,965'

Our Dollarhide Summit day features a short, 4.5 mile hill climb timed segment within a bigger 50 mile ride from Ketchum and back. Dollarhide features a stunning ride through the Warm Springs Creek river basin on the approach to Dollarhide Summit. It's a super casual roll at your own pace until you reach mile 20 where we all line up and start in 30 second intervals for our own personal race of truth. After we're done, many of us gather at the optional Frenchman's Hot Springs for a dip in the water as we celebrate another day in the books.

Stage 3: THe Main Event - Choose any Route!

The main event of takes place on Saturday at Champion Meadows. We offer four unique routes to choose from, and new for 2026 we are introducing new roads to the Baked Potato, and bringing you an all-new Fully Loaded Potato route. Between the 19 mile Tater Tot and the 118 Mile Fully Loaded Potato, we've got something for everyone!

Tater Tot

19 Mi | 1,209'

Satisfy your appetite with a side of Tater Tots! Coming in at just under 20 miles, the Tater Tot features the same professional experience as the Baked Potato and French Fry routes in a snack-sized format. Tater Tot riders will enjoy a 50/50 mix of terrain, sandwiching the nice, swoopy gravel and gentle climbs of the classic Corral Creek Road between a smooth pavement start and finish, the perfect introduction to gravel riding!

French Fry

57 Mi | 3,644'

The Goldilocks course: not too short, not too long, but juuust right for those seeking jaw-dropping views and remoteness. You’ll still earn the bragging rights of the burly Trail Creek Summit climb and cover much of the same terrain (yep, washboards and headwinds, too) as your Baked Potato brothers and sisters without the full commitment.
NEW ROUTE!

Baked Potato

104 Mi | 6,281'

NEW FOR 2026 - We're adding brand new roads and mountains to our signature Baked Potato course, taking riders up a giant 2,500' climb up and over the stunning Corral Creek Summit. Read the rider guide for time cut information at Wildhorse Creek and El Diablito.
NEW ROUTE!

FULLY LOADED

118 Mi | 7,081'

The all-new Fully Loaded Baked Potato includes all of the Baked Potato route plus the inclusion of the original Copper Basin loop for a mind-altering journey through the incredible mountain ranges of central Idaho. Read the rider guide for time cut information at Wildhorse Creek, Copper Basin, and El Diablito.

You ride with a helmet.

You should also ride with BLISTER+

Let's face it, we take risks. As outdoor enthusiasts, it's unlikely that we're bound to a single sport, and each of them brings with it the potential for getting injured. In many cases, that can lead to costly, impactful medical bills. That's where BLISTER+ comes in. For $395 per year, you can rest assured that you'll have help when you need it. BLISTER+ Members enjoy a $0 deductible $25,000 per incident coverage benefit for a wide range of outdoor adventure activities.

Let BLISTER+ be your second line of protection!
