Blending the love of driving with the ultimate challenge of precise navigation, the Rebelle Rally is an all female off-road navigation rally that covers more than 2,000 kilometers across the Nevada and California desert over 7 days of competition.  The rally is not a race for speed, but a unique and demanding event based on the elements of headings, hidden checkpoints, time, and distance using maps, compass, and roadbook.

Rebelle Rally: First women’s off-road navigation rally in the US

It is designed as a hybrid of serious competition and the ultimate road trip comprised of dirt roads, double tracks, trails, and sand dunes. The course includes off-road recreational vehicle venues and iconic landmarks, and will be contested in two classes:

4X4 Vehicles – 4-wheel drive vehicles that have a two-speed transfer case (low range) -and-

Cross-Overs – Unibody construction with all-wheel drive (no low range).

Women from around the globe are encouraged to participate, and professional driving experience is not required.
