The Rover Owners Association of Virginia (ROAV) held the Mid-Atlantic Rally from October 4-7, 2018 in Pembroke, Virginia. An East Coast tradition since 1994, MAR combines trail riding, RTV trials, and camaraderie in the beautiful mountains of Southwest Virginia.
Pembroke is just west of Blacksburg, Virginia – home to Virginia Tech. The event has been held the past few years at Wheatland Farm, with the event camp set up on a hillside with commanding views over the mountains across the valley which are host to the trails. There are guided trail runs for all skill sets, from stock trucks to heavily modified vehicles.
There are a few fun activities at the main site as well, including a multi-stage RTV course – a maze of canes that you have to drive through without either stopping or hitting a cane – and this year, a blindfold competition. Saturday culminates in a barbeque group dinner, including the distribution of awards for the various competitions.
The MAR is usually in early October and should be again in 2019. Keep an eye on roav.org or the ROAV page on Facebook for updates on when registration begins for next year.
