Update: Previewing the 2026 USRRC in St. Louis Oct. 9–11

August is almost upon us, and we’re hard at work polishing the three rallies for this year’s United States Road Rally Challenge® (USRRC), organized and hosted, of course, by the St. Louis Region. The three rallies: the South by Southeast National Course Rally Oct. 9, the Great River Road National Touring Rally Oct. 10, and the Route 66 Ramble National Touring Rally Oct. 11.

The USRRC is SCCA road-rallying’s annual triple-national weekend, similar to—but not quite like—the Runoffs® or the Solo® Nationals.

Actually, to be correct, we’re organizing five rallies Oct. 9–11, because we’re adapting the routes of Great River Road Tour and the Route 66 Ramble and offering them for regional competitors as part of our Region’s every-now-and-again Gateway Challenge Cup, which is a strictly SOP (seat of the pants) event aimed at the beginning or occasional rally team. For our Gateway Challenge Cup rallies, only minimal timekeeping is required and no fancy navigating equipment is allowed. Motor along at the assigned average speeds, have your navigator keep you on the rally route, and enjoy the day. That’s it.

So, what to expect from the USRRC weekend regardless of the rally, or rallies, you’ve chosen to run—good organization, great roads, great hospitality, and fun driving. That’s our goal.

And yes, we hope to see you in October.
