Since Rebecca Rusch first launched RPI, it has become a bucket-list event for professional and amateur riders, alike. Rated a Top Five Gravel Event by Global Cycling Network and one of the 25 Best Bike Rides in the World by Outside Magazine, RPI has been staged every Labor Day weekend since 2013 in Rebecca's hometown and surrounding backcountry of Sun Valley and Ketchum, Idaho. It delivers a challenge in the middle of America's rugged, and ancient Rocky Mountains.
