First Ever 2 The Border – Motorcycle Rally in Boundary County

| July 14, 2023 1:00 AM

PORTHILL —- Are you ready to get the Harley out to North Idaho this July?

The first ever 2 The Border Motorcycle Rally, an all rider event to Jake’s Landing at Porthill is coming at the end of July.

For three days, July 28 to July 30 motorcyclists will be meeting up at the northern border to camp, meet up and ride.

Organizers said they began this event because “We love motorcycles, we love North Idaho, and we love motorcycle rallies. But, in North Idaho (like really really North) we don’t have any rallies, so we found a great location and decided to just do it ourselves.”

Located at Jake’s Landing in Porthill, Idaho, situated on the Kootenai River night next to the US/Canada border.

Camping is available for Moto/Tent campers, with other lodging options nearby.

The event will include a poker run, which is a local tour incorporating on-road and off-road checkpoints to give everyone a chance to have some fun.

If that’s not your style, the poker run isn’t your style, there are lots of excellent riding options in the area to explore, you can choose from some of our pre planned routes or go freestyle and explore all day on your own. Just make sure to get back in time for dinner and the evening's activities.

All routes will be distributed via the Rever app. All rides are self-guided. We encourage you to group up and ride with new friends.

Raffles will be available from vendors and other local businesses. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase at the welcome tent until Saturday afternoon. The tickets will be drawn on Saturday evening and you must be present to win!

RAFFLE TICKET SALES WILL BE DONATED TO BACKCOUNTRY DISCOVERY ROUTES to help further their mission to create and maintain the incredible trail system they have assembled all over the country.

FOOD & DRINKS: There is a restaurant and general store at the venue that will be available to attendees. There will be a dinner special on Saturday (VIP tickets include grab-and-go breakfast on Saturday and Sunday and dinner on Saturday). There will also be some small food vendors available.

SHOP GEAR: Come check out the vendor city any time all weekend. Our vendor city includes some top names in the industry. Be sure to snag a deal and take home some new gear!

Passports are NOT REQUIRED unless you’re coming from Canada, but the rally is taking place directly adjacent to the border.

Organizers highly recommend bringing your passport if you have one so you can explore southern Canada as well.
