Competitors are rewarded for following TREAD principles in different ways as they design their routes and then drive them over the course of the rally. They also have specific opportunities to earn points by completing Tread Lightly!-flagged activities and challenges related to land stewardship and responsible motorized recreation. Teams can earn points for up to three Stewardship Activities over the ten weeks of the Rally.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>During our inaugural edition in 2022, Nomad Overland Rally Teams were involved in cleanups and other stewardship activities all across the USA. Last year&#8217;s Teams began working on Stewardship projects in Colorado and Arizona during Week Two of the event.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1958 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/nomadoverlandrally.com\/nomadrally2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NomadRally_stewardshippost_0117-1024x576-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nomadoverlandrally.com\/nomadrally2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NomadRally_stewardshippost_0117-1024x576-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/nomadoverlandrally.com\/nomadrally2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NomadRally_stewardshippost_0117-1024x576-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nomadoverlandrally.com\/nomadrally2023\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/NomadRally_stewardshippost_0117-1024x576-1-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadoverlandrally.com\/nomadrally2022\/team-111\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"632\">Team 111 Potter<\/a>, (the Winner of last year&#8217;s TreadLightly!
