Based at The Railyard Event and Conference Center in Elkins, West Virginia, this event is designed for beginners, first-time rally participants, and experienced adventurers looking for a more relaxed and approachable course.
Expect a scenic route through the mountains of West Virginia without the extreme terrain or vehicle requirements found at our most challenging events. The focus is on navigation, teamwork, exploration, and enjoying the journey—not tackling the hardest obstacles.
Whether this is your first Backroads of Appalachia event or you simply prefer a less technical adventure, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved.
