Gus Kenworthy is always in motion. For the better part of a decade, the 27-year-old has been earning a reputation as a world-class skier, winning a silver medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, to go along with a collection of hardware from multiple X Games and World Championships. But that’s just part of Kenworthy’s story—off the slopes, he’s finding himself becoming a true pop culture force, amassing more than 1.2 million followers on Instagram, finding his way into Hollywood with a role in the ninth season of FX’s American Horror Story, and becoming an important activist in the LGBTQ community after coming out in 2015. That’s a lifetime worth of accomplishments before he even hits 30, and Kenworthy is far from done. On June 2, he will embark upon the AIDS/LifeCycle, a 545-mile bike trek from San Francisco to Los Angeles aimed at raising money for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation and the Los Angeles LGBT Center. After deciding to join the ride in 2019, Kenworthy became the top fundraiser in the history of the AIDS/LifeCycle, bringing in more than $166,000. We spoke to Kenworthy about the ride, how he uses social media to raise awareness for LGBTQ issues, and the challenge of a weeklong bike ride. M&F: First off, can you briefly tell us about the AIDS/LifeCycle and how you got involved? You have a sizable presence on social media. How has that type of visibility helped you as you speak about issues like HIV/AIDS and LGBTQ rights? How do you train for a 545-mile ride like the AIDS/LifeCycle, and what type of nutrition plan do you have in place during it? When you're cycling for something like this, which lasts seven days, is it more physically or mentally difficult? You can donate to Kenworthy's AIDS/LifeCycle cause here.
