The United States Road Rally Challenge (USRRC) is a multi-day, multi-event showcase Rally which moves around the country each year and stands as an esteemed event in the RoadRally schedule. 

When it started, the USRRC was a three-day, three-event National-level rally with maximum points available which could help propel a competitor towards a national championship. Over time the USRRC has evolved into an event which puts less emphasis on points scoring and more weight toward the experience itself or the historical significance of an event or location.

Whether your goal is to take advantage of multiple points-scoring days or to take part in the prestige of some of the oldest motorsports events in the country, the USRRC is a desire for many RoadRally participants.

JOHNNY APPLESEED is an absolutely straightforward afternoon/evening Time-Speed-Distance (TSD) rally winding southeast through Ohio's Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District (MWCD), then south through the Appalachian foothills, to an overnight halt in Marietta, Ohio. The Johnny Appleseed name is a legacy from a National Rally first hosted by Neohio Region in the 1950s. The rally has changed form over the decades, but the name endures. "Tulip" style route instructions will be used with parenthetical perfect cumulative times provided for nearly all instructions.

OHIO MILK RUN is another straightforward TSD rally running northbound, and parallel to, but slightly west of the Johnny Appleseed route. The Milk Run name is an homage to an old motorcycle enduro that ran in the same area. 

CLEVELAND ALLEY RALLYE is a resurrection of a once hugely popular annual event organized by the now-defunct Cleveland Sport Car Club, starting in the 1950s. The 2025 rally will be a lighthearted (and lightly trapped...) jaunt that will introduce participants to the full spectrum of Cleveland's urban landscape. Explore the post-industrial "Flats", distinct ethnic neighborhoods, century-old warehouse grids, mazes of alleys and loading docks beneath theaters and office towers, and take in numerous breathtaking views of the Cuyahoga River. All while navigating with only a stock odometer and basic 4-function calculator! As a bonus, proceeds from this rally will be donated to Slow Roll Cleveland, a 501(c)3 charity that promotes community engagement through inclusive social bike rides.

 

All three rallies will use the Richta GPS Competitor app for timing and scoring. You can download the app for free by going to the App Store, Google Play, or the Richta Rally website.
