KTM Announces Details For 2026 US Adventure Rider Rally
An epic weekend with KTM and fellow ADV riders in scenic Idaho
KTM has officially opened registration for the 2026 Adventure Rider Rally, which returns to Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg, Idaho, on September 17–19. Now entering its 21st year, the long‑running gathering brings together a limited group of 200 riders for two days of adventure riding and community at one of the Northwest’s most scenic mountain venues.
The rally takes place in the same region that hosts the Silver Kings Hard Enduro, and KTM is once again relying on Quinn Cody to design the weekend’s curated routes. The tracks are built to offer something for both experienced explorers and riders who are just beginning to expand their off‑road skills. All rides are self‑guided, and participants will receive GPS files directly from KTM. A GPS device is required, and KTM strongly recommends carrying a SPOT or similar personal locator beacon due to the remote terrain. Although the event centers on the KTM Adventure lineup, it’s open to all brands of street‑legal motorcycles.

A big part of the weekend is the chance to ride and connect with KTM ambassadors. This year’s lineup includes Chris Birch, Ryan Dungey, Chris Fillmore, Quinn Cody, Destry Abbott and Taylor Robert. Birch will also be hosting riding seminars during the event, giving participants the opportunity to learn from one of the most respected adventure riders in the world.
KTM’s technical team will be on site throughout the weekend to offer support and share their knowledge of the model range. A variety of adventure‑focused vendors and KTM partners will also be set up at the resort, adding to the community atmosphere. Vendor registration information is available through the event organizers for those who want to participate.

For riders who prefer to fly in, KTM has partnered with Colorado Motorcycle Adventures to offer rental packages for the rally. Details on the rental program are available through their website.
Participants will receive an event t‑shirt and hat, along with several meals throughout the weekend. The schedule includes a Thursday pre‑event dinner, breakfast on Friday and Saturday, dinner on Friday, and an awards dinner on Saturday night where riders can unwind and share stories from the trail.
Lodging is available directly through Silver Mountain Resort, and KTM has arranged a group rate for attendees. Riders can book by calling the resort or using the provided link and group code. Anyone planning to ride Idaho’s motorized trails during the event will also need a Motorized Vehicle Use Permit, which can be purchased through Idaho State Parks.
This event tends to fill up fast, so if you’re planning to join in on the fun, it’s best to reserve your spot as soon as possible. Visit the official event page for full details and to secure your place.
