You are invited to the 2025 Northwest Challenge!
This year it's being held October 3rd-5th, in central Oregon.
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 3rd, with a driver's meeting and a night event. Ending Sunday, October 5th, around noon.
There will be a base camp for the weekend, so you can leave your camp set up. There is no running water on-site. NO POTTIES. WAG bags will be provided.
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!
