July 29–31, 2026
Have fun, make friends, learn skills
Three days. Five hundred adventurers. One mountain range. This is where the overlanding community comes together to grow.
The Overland Rally is an annual three-day celebration of overland travel, community, and adventure held in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. From beginners to seasoned explorers, everyone is welcome to learn, share, and explore together.
Founded in 2013 by a small group of passionate overlanders who wanted a gathering that prioritized skills and community over spectacle, the rally has grown from 80 attendees to over 500 enthusiasts annually and the spirit has never wavered.
Expert-led clinics, guided trail rides, a curated vendor village, the Overlanders Choice Awards, and unforgettable evening events around the campfire make this one of the highlights of the overlanding calendar.

Do not take our word for it. Here is what the overlanding community says about their rally experience.
“This rally completely changed how I overland. I arrived nervous with a stock truck and left with a notebook full of skills, a list of upgrades, and about thirty new friends who I now trail-run with every month.”
“We have attended three overlanding rallies across the country, and this is the one we come back to every single year. The vendor lineup, the trail access, and the energy of the community is unmatched.”
“As a solo woman overlander, I was hesitant at first. But from day one, everyone was so welcoming and inclusive. The recovery workshop alone was worth the entire trip. I cannot recommend this enough.”
“The clinics are top-notch, the trails are incredible, and the vibe is like nothing else. It feels less like an event and more like a family reunion of people who happen to love dirt roads.”
