Rebecca’s Private Idaho Just Got More Private.
Thirteen years of RPI, and we’ve never moved the date. Until now.
This September 9–12, Rebecca’s Private Idaho shifts off of Labor Day weekend for the first time in its history. The reason is simple: we want Ketchum to ourselves. No holiday traffic. No competing with half the state for a hotel room. No standing in line at Pioneer Saloon behind a family of nine who just discovered Sun Valley exists.
The move to a post-holiday weekend means cheaper flights, more lodging options, fewer crowds on the road, and more of the thing that makes Private Idaho private. We’ve grown up. We’re owning the space. And we’re giving you a better version of the weekend we’ve been building for over a decade.
The Stuff Nobody Puts on the Flyer
The scenery here makes you feel like you're peering through a picture frame at nearly every turn. You already know that, or you wouldn’t be reading this.
But it’s the space between the stages that makes RPI something else entirely. It’s soaking in hot springs with people you met 36 hours ago and now inexplicably trust with your life. It’s the outdoor film fest with Be Good Foundation, brats on the grill, cold one in hand, the Idaho sky doing that thing it does when the sun drops behind the Boulders. It’s the small-town compression of the Wood River Valley—the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve lived there for years after two days.
You don’t just come here to race. You come here to disappear into something that’s hard to explain and harder to leave. That’s the private part.
Two New Routes. No spuds left unturned.
This year, we rebuilt the course from the ground up.
The Baked Potato—our flagship 100-miler—has been completely reimagined. And for those who think 100 miles of Idaho backcountry isn’t quite enough, we’re introducing the 118-mile Fully Loaded Potato: an all-new route that’s never been ridden, through terrain we’ve been eyeing for years.
We’re not telling you what’s out there. That’s the point. Will you be among the first to find out? Spots are filling. This isn’t a countdown-timer gimmick—it’s a logistics reality in a town this size.
