You are invited to the 2024 Northwest Challenge!
This year it's being held October 11th-13th, in the mountains of central Washington State.
In-line with the event's history, this is a heavy off-road event that is only open to members of PCRC, Rover-Landers, or Nor Cal Rover.
As always, body damage is a real possibility, but the event is always a whole lot of fun!!
We will be starting at 6pm on Friday, October 11th, with a driver's meeting and a night event. Ending Sunday, October 13th, around noon.
There will be a base camp with outhouses for the weekend, so you can leave your camp set up. There is no running water onsite.
We are providing Saturday night dinner, and muffins and coffee on Saturday & Sunday morning.
Entry is $75 per Land Rover for driver and co-driver, and includes NWC T-shirts for each.
If being a competitor isn’t for you, please consider volunteering, less likelihood of body damage and still a great time!
