Many cycling events, or brevets, which are organized by local RUSA clubs in the United States are sanctioned by the Audax Club Parisien and therefore can be used to qualify for Paris–Brest–Paris and other long brevets around the world.

RUSA was formed in 1998 by Jennifer Wise, Johnny Bertrand and John Wagner, along with six others.

A great way for a rider to get introduced to Randonneuring is by riding a Populaire, which is a shorter distance Brevet - 100-199 km in length.

By doing so, newcomers get to know and learn about long distance rides style and rules of Randonneuring.
