2025 SCCA US Road Rally Challenge (USRRC), October 10-12, 2025

After being asked once again to seriously consider hosting the SCCA US Road Rally Challenge, Neohio Region has agreed to present three rallies over three consecutive days in October. Here are the (very preliminary) concepts for these rallies:

1) Friday, October 10 - Johnny Appleseed, Canton, Ohio. Absolutely straightforward afternoon/evening TSD rally heading southeast through Ohio's Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, and on south through the Appalachian foothills to an overnight halt in/near Marietta, Ohio. The Johnny Appleseed name is a legacy from a National Rally first hosted by Neohio Region in the 1950's. The rally has changed form over the decades, but the name endures.

2) Saturday, October 11 - Ohio Milk Run, Marietta, Ohio. Absolutely straightforward TSD rally running northbound, and parallel to, but slightly west of Friday's route. The Milk Run name is an homage to an old motorcycle enduro that ran in the same area.

3) Sunday, October 12 - Cleveland Alley Rallye, Cleveland, Ohio. The Alley Rallye will be a resurrection of a once hugely popular annual event organized by the now-defunct Cleveland Sport Car Club, starting in the 1950's. It is a lighthearted tour that will introduce participants to the full spectrum of Cleveland's urban landscape: the post-industrial "Flats", distinct ethnic neighborhoods, grids of narrow brick streets separating century-old warehouses, mazes of alleys and loading docks beneath theaters and office towers, and breathtaking views of the mighty Cuyahoga River (yes, THAT Cuyahoga - the one that burned!).

Mark your calendars now.
