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.

The 2024 Nomad Overland Rally is complete and we are happy to announce our Winners for this third edition of the event (and the Winners of the Falken Tires) The final week of competition turned into a real “nail biter” as the Teams narrowed the points gaps so much that at the end only one point separated first and second place, and third place was a tie! So many teams really worked hard this year amassing a record number of points and also completing 37 Stewardship activities on trails and public lands around the USA while they were out adventuring. We want to CONGRATULATE ALL THE TEAMS who got out there and pushed themselves to do as much as they could — a few of the Teams actually went “above and beyond” completing all the possible activities and tasks even after they had maxed out their available points. And a BIG THANK YOU to @falkentire, @treadlightlyteam and @onxoffroad for their support in helping make the rally possible. #nomad24 #nomadrally #offroad #overlanding #adventure #falkentires #onxoffroad #treadlightly #doyourpart @podroze_agi @rocklanding.adventures @offroadite @sheila.j.long @lesalisa27a @dulcykatt
The sun has set on the 2024 edition of the Nomad Overland Rally and we really appreciated the energy and engagement of our Nomad Teams this year!

Week Ten was the final week of competition in the 2024 Nomad Overland Rally and the teams used this last week to grab as many points as they could, narrowing the “point-gap” to a single point. Final Stewardship activities and final Falken Tire PrecisionChallenges were completed and then the teams# had to wait for the final points tally before the announcement of the official winners. Great job by all our Nomad Teams this year! And we are thankful to @falkentire, @treadlightlyteam and @onxoffroad for their support! #nomad24 #nomadrally #nomadoverlandrally #offroad #overlanding #adventure #explore #treadlightly #falkentires #onxoffroad #exploreyourworld
The Nomad Teams were hard at work during Week Nine as they pushed to earn more points in the “home stretch” of the ten week competition period. More Stewardship Activities were completed and a few more Teams took on the Falken Tire Precision Challenge this week. There is just one week left to narrow the point gap. Check out these highlights from Week Nine! Thanks to @falkentire, @treadlightlyteam and @onxoffroad for supporting the adventures. #nomad24 #nomadoverlandrally #offroad #overlanding #nomadrally #treadlightly #falkentires #onxoffroad
nomadoverlandrally Rally ID selfie montage!! I am not fond of selfies - not fond of my face, lol, but it was great experience to go out of my comfort zone!  Excuse the fact that I’m somewhat off time with my photo switches - I only have so much patience and limited talent with reels, LOL!! Today is the final day of the 10 week Rally. It’s been so much fun, definitely a bit of work but then that’s what a challenge is! Check out the nomadoverlandrally next year for 2025

Nature has a way of reclaiming what is hers when left unattended. This was near Bay City, Oregon as we were traveling along the coast. Seeing the flowers grow amongst the remnants of abandoned buildings gave it a different beauty. #nomad24
The Colorado River and its tributaries began rapidly carving through rock layers, carrying off sediments. Left behind are the cliffs and plateaus of the Grand Staircase. Today, the Grand Staircase continues to erode. The rate at which this occurs depends on changing climate conditions. Bryce Canyon National Park is beautiful! Hoodoo you love?? 😉 #nomad24
That view after an amazing night’s sleep in the rooftop tent… You can even hear and see the Pacific Ocean! This was such a great HipCamp off the coast of Oregon after visiting Olympic National Park. #nomad24
