Week 10 of the Nomad Overland Rally, was the final week of the competition and a scramble to the end, as Teams tried to eke out a few more points. So many of our Teams finished strong this year and the points gap narrowed so much that at the end only one point separated First and Second Place, and Third Place was tied! Ten Teams finished with more than 5,000 points! Team 110 Smigiel finished in First Place with 5,474 points. Team 101 Mercer cane in Second Place with 5,473 points. Third Place was a tie between Team 114 Dolbow and Team 117 Lucas who each earned 5,468 points. The final Weekly Challenge, “Recovery Basics,” gave the Teams one more opportunity to add points to their scores by demonstrating their knowledge of vehicle recovery techniques.
Here are some Week 9 highlights from around the 2024 Nomad Overland Rally. Team 101 Mercer, moved into First Place, this week after going all out to search for a few more PhotoQuest items, and finishing up the final Navigation activity. Team 117 Lucas, dropped back to Second place Place, but is steadily checking off their last few activities. Team 110 Smigiel moved into Third Place, continuing to systematically go after every point. Team 130 McClellan is pushing forward, going out in search of some of the harder-to-find wildlife. Team 129 Astor (NC Oldman Overland) is checking off their last few activites and preparing for a strong finish. And most of the other Nomad Teams are making a final push for points as they enter the last week of the event. Check out the Leaderboard to see how everyone ranked at the end of Week 9.
