Description

Rebecca Rusch and The Be Good Foundation invite you to a special benefit supporting the National Interscholastic Cycling Association.


Blood Road follows the journey of ultra-endurance mountain bike athlete Rebecca Rusch and her Vietnamese riding partner, Huyen Nguyen, as they pedal 1,200 miles along the infamous Ho Chi Minh Trail through the dense jungles of Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. Their goal: to reach the crash site and final resting place of Rebecca’s father, a U.S. Air Force pilot shot down over Laos some 40 years earlier.


During this poignant voyage of self discovery, the women push their bodies to the limit while learning more about the historic ‘Blood Road’ they’re pedaling and how the Vietnam War shaped their lives in different way



Join 7x world champion, 4x Leadville winner, and most recent first female finisher of the Iditarod Trail Invitational 350, Rebecca Rusch for an inspirational evening that includes cool raffle prizes from GU, WTB, and more, and an exclusive screening of the award-winning film, Blood Road and meet and greet and Q & A with Rebecca.
