(Checkout the full Leaderboard for all the Teams’ Week 6 scores)

Week 6 of the Nomad Overland Rally saw more teams completing their 12 Overland Stages, more Falken Precision Challenges completed and more Stewardship activities undertaken. We now have seven teams with over 3,000 points, and more than half the teams have surpassed the 1,000 level. There was some shuffling around the top of the Leaderboard again this week, but Team 117 Lucas has managed to keep a hold on first place for the fourth week in a row, with a whopping 4,486 points. Team 121 Rojas (aka DOGRNR) climbed back into second place with 4,115 points, and Team 110 Smigiel jumped into third place with 4,000 points. The Week 6 Challenge, “Roadbooks and Maps,” gave the Teams a chance to test their skills with Rally Roadbook navigation, and many of them did quite well with it.  Teams still have one more week to complete it. Meanwhile Challenge #7 was released this morning and it’s a fun, hands-on, one — “Ropes and Knots.”

Here are some Week 6 highlights from around the 2024 Nomad Overland Rally. First Place Team 117 Lucas is in Alaska, where they are picking up a lot of wildlife for the PhotoQuest. Team 121 Rojas (aka DOGRNR) now in Second Place, completed the Falken Tire Precision Challenge and is continuing with her Overland Stages in Arizona.  Team 110 Smigiel moved into Third Place after a busy week, with some Stewardship activities and the Falken Tire Precision Challenge giving them a big boost. Team 123 C. Stevens  was exploring with Team 124 E. Stevens around Virginia and West Virgina. Team 119 Archer had some fun out on the trails with Team 111 Potter and Team 118 Macy in Colorado. And most of the other Nomad Teams were finishing up or in the middle of Overland Stages  in California, Oregon, North Carolina, Wyoming, Arizona, Texas and Arkansas this week! Check out the Leaderboard to see how everyone ranked at the end of Week 6.

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! We hope to see many of them back again for 2025, and in the meantime we’ll keep following their adventures wherever they lead. #nomad24 #nomadoverlandrally #offroad #overlanding #adventure #nomadrally @falkentire @treadlightlyteam @onxoffroad #exploremore
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
