We are the South's premier automotive culture and lifestyle experience featuring road rallies, private track days, community and social events, and unparalleled overland adventures. We are based in Northwest Arkansas and organize events across the United States and in the case of our Overland events, internationally.
Since 2015, Express Rally events have been unifying enthusiasts across the country for unparalleled automotive adventures. Our events combine dynamic driving routes, track time, and unique experiences for a weekend focused on creating memories with those that share a passion for motorsports.
Our events began in 2015 primarily in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Texas. 2017 saw our first West Coast event become a reality and Western Express events have taken participants through Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah. 2019 brought the creation of a Seattle based rally in the Northwest Express and added Washington and Oregon to the list of states Express Rally operates in. 2023 brought the inaugural Eastern Express including Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. For 2024, the Southwest Express rally brings New Mexico and Arizona in to the fold.
We pride ourselves in delivering a highly organized and value packed event that allows participants to enjoy their vehicle in a unique way while meeting fellow enthusiasts from a variety of backgrounds. Our attention to detail in selecting technical and emotional driving routes and in the consistent execution of our events across the country for nearly a decade is what sets us apart.
For those looking for an approachable budget friendly event, shorter format two day events deliver an introductory rally experience for those wanting to see what Express Rally is all about. These events are also an excellent way for seasoned participants to enjoy a quick weekend getaway between larger format events.
Our established Southern, Western, Northwest, Southwest and Eastern Express events are what we have become known for over the years as these events continue to provide participants the opportunity to check off bucket list items and enjoy a weekend driving the best roads the country has to offer while staying in the finest hotels and participating in private track events.
New for 2023, Express Rally Select Series offer another level of exclusivity with our first invitation only rally aimed at gathering an exquisite group of exotic and specialty vehicles for a multi-day event blending curated driving and social experiences.
Founded in 2018, Express Rally Overland events take the same detailed planning and camaraderie that make our road rallies successful to develop an event for those that enjoy taking the road less traveled. From events in our very own backyard of the Ozark National Forest to the beaches of Baja, Express Rally Overland events give participants an opportunity to fully embrace the experience of the epic locations we travel through.
Overland events feature pre-planned scenic and technical trails as well as carefully selected stops each day to take in the offerings of the unique destinations we have selected. Campsites are selected in advance for each night and breakfast and dinner are prepared fireside by our professional chef. Participants arrive at camp and with a fire already built and dinner being prepared, they only need to focus on sharing stories from the day with fellow participants and enjoying a reprieve from the daily grind.
Overland events are limited to 15-20 rigs depending on the event location to ensure an intimate experience and to minimize impact on our public lands. For every event we host we obtain the necessary licenses, permits, and insurance from the governmental entities that manage the areas we travel through.
From first time participants with stock four-wheel drive vehicles wanting to get into the lifestyle to more seasoned overlanders with decades of experience, Express Rally Overland events offer everyone the opportunity to push yourself, your rig, and learn new skills in a safe and encouraging environment.
Introduced in 2024, Mixed Terrain Rally events offer a curated combination of scenic dirt roads and engaging paved driving roads focused on providing participants with opportunities to enjoy nature without fear of suffering vehicle damage. Mixed Terrain Rally events include pre-planned stops for fuel, food and other points of interest but do not feature technical off-road trails like our Overland events. MTR events also include hotel accommodations opposed to primitive camping, but some events give participants the option to camp if desired and if the event location allows. These experiences are perfect for those new to off-roading or those with adventure ready vehicles. From Ford Raptors to Subarus, vans, and safari built Porsches, you will see a variety of vehicles on the starting grid for Mixed Terrain Rally events.
Our private track days are intentionally designed with smaller group sizes to ensure more time on track in a safe and welcoming environment. We offer private instruction at each track day along with providing lunch and professional media coverage. From novice drivers to licensed racing drivers, you will see a variety of participants at an Express Rally track day. We have held private track days in previous years at Hallett Motor Racing Circuit, Motorsports Ranch Cresson, and at Ozarks International Raceway.
Outside of our road rallies, private track days, and overland events, we offer multiple opportunities for Express Rally participants to stay connected throughout the year with events benefiting local charities, social events, group drives, and by sponsoring other local automotive events.
