Rebecca Rusch

Rebecca has been a professional athlete for over three decades and has continually tested her own limits, and shattered the glass ceiling in whatever sport she tackles. She redefined the team dynamics of adventure racing, has a first female ascent rock climbing El Capitan in Yosemite, river boarded down the Grand Canyon, and has given the men a run for their money in endurance mountain biking.


Rusch’s work extends beyond the start line as the best selling author of Rusch to Glory, event producer for Rebecca’s Private Idaho, motivational speaker, firefighter, and cycling advocate. She has raised over $100k for bike related charities through her adventures and events.

ABOUT

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 ways.

Support The effort to help protect people in Laos from uxos

During Rebecca Rusch's journey along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, Rebecca witnessed the enormous threat of  Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) contamination that plagues much of Southeast Asia, especially Laos. Rebecca met with the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) in Laos and was immediately inspired to help. In honor of her father Stephen Rusch, Rebecca is raising donations for MAG, so people may thrive and stay safe from the perils of UXOs.


To date, Rebecca's efforts have cleared 99,249 sq. meters, the equivalent of 14 soccer fields.
