WHAT IS THE OVERLAND CHALLENGE?
The overland challenge will make you fight man, machine, and nature in a set of challenges that will test your comfort zone. This rally style challenge will take you on some of the most scenic routes that central Alabama has to offer. You will travel from some of the lowest points in the state through mud and muck to the highest point in the state crawling on some of the slickest rock around. Later you will be tested on your ability to sort through problems, mechanical failures, vehicle recovery and team challenges. All camping will be included for both nights of the challenge on private property with limited resources but a restroom will be available on site.

All proceeds from this challenge will be donated in full to a Veteran Operated Veteran focused Charity, Team Overland.

How it will work:

Each day will consist of physical team challenges, technical vehicle obstacle work at Alabama's best off-road parks, public land navigation and other surprise challenges. Each team will receive the starting coordinates for the challenge, approximate to Talladega, Alabama the start of now TWO famous races. Each morning, every team will be handed a list of challenges that must be completed before sundown. Each team will travel through some of the most rugged terrain terrain that central Alabama has to offer all while testing your navigational skills through public lands and private property.
