The longest competitive off-road rally in the United States adds an additional day of competition to the sold-out event.
October 2, 2025 (Reno, NV) – The 10th Annual Rebelle Rally, the longest competitive off-road rally in the United States, begins next week in Mammoth Lakes, California, with Technical Inspection starting October 8. The sold-out event features 68 two-person teams competing over nine days of stages, across Nevada and California’s iconic terrain. Precision driving and navigation, not speed, are the ultimate goals, relying solely on maps, compasses, and roadbooks. The rally competition concludes October 17 in Needles, California, with Rebellation, the awards gala, on October 18.
Over 2,800 kilometers, teams drive and navigate deserts, mountains, and challenging terrain using the Rebelle Format, a unique points-based competition emphasizing strategy, precision, and endurance over speed. Teams do not have support crews, relying entirely on their own skills and resources throughout the competition days. Daily stages include map and compass and enduro roadbook challenges, with competitors plotting latitude/longitude or heading and distance to locate checkpoints. Each day spans 10–12+ hours, with teams returning to base camp at the end of the day, and two marathon stages occur without an overnight base camp.
