Please join us for our annual spring rally. Our Rovers At Wintergreen (RAW) rally is hosted at the Wintergreen Ski Resort conveniently located in central Virginia. This location affords us access to the comforts of the resort, miles of wooded trails over scenic and challenging terrain, plus the option to enjoy fine food and drink at several of the local restaurants, breweries, and distilleries.

Registration: Registration costs are $130 (early registration) for the first vehicle ($25 for each additional vehicle per family). Early registration closes on Friday, April 7, 2023 and the price goes up after that. The base registration includes one vehicle, one adult meal ticket, one raffle ticket, and one t-shirt.
