KTM Adventure Rider Rally Returns to Idaho in 2026

The 21st annual KTM Adventure Rider Rally is set for September 17–19, 2026, at Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho. Registration is now open and capped at 200 riders, with an entry fee of $600 per person. The fee includes meals, an event T-shirt and hat, and access to GPS route tracks through the mountain terrain above the resort. The event is open to all brands of street-legal motorcycles, though KTM’s Adventure lineup is the foundation.

Non-riders can buy a $250 meal package. Routes are self-guided and designed by KTM USA R&D’s Quinn Cody, a four-time Baja 1000 winner and Dakar Rally top-10 finisher. Cody leads six brand ambassadors on the rides: Chris Birch (enduro, hard enduro, adventure), Ryan Dungey (Supercross and MX legend), Destry Abbott (desert, off-road, ISDE), Taylor Robert (enduro, off-road, ISDE), and Chris Fillmore (road racing, flat track, supermoto, Pikes Peak). Birch will also host riding seminars.

KTM’s technical team will be on-site to support all models, and adventure-focused vendors and partners will have a presence. Riders flying in can rent bikes through KTM’s partnership with Colorado Motorcycle Adventures, with models including the 890 Adventure R, 790 Adventure, 690 Enduro R, and 500 EXC-F. The three-day schedule starts with a pre-event dinner on Thursday evening, followed by breakfast, riding, and dinner on Friday. Saturday wraps with breakfast, more riding, and an Awards Dinner.

Silver Mountain Resort sits above Kellogg in northern Idaho’s Silver Valley, about 45 minutes east of Coeur d’Alene. The valley’s mountainous terrain stretches roughly 60 miles along Interstate 90 between Fourth of July Pass and the Montana border. Silver Valley earned its name from silver deposits discovered in 1885, when a prospector’s burro wandered off and stood on a rich galena outcrop. The region became one of the world’s most prolific silver producers, yielding over one billion troy ounces since 1884, though mining has long since ceased.

Today, the valley thrives on outdoor recreation. Silver Mountain Resort hosts the Silver Kings Hard Enduro and features the longest single-stage gondola in North America, which carries passengers to the summit where ski terrain transitions to challenging off-road trails each summer. Registration is open on the KTM website.
