What is the Border Run Rally? The Border Run Rally is the first full-throttle DFW based gimmick rally. A gimmick rally is essentially a scavenger hunt where a driver and navigator must find their way to an unknown destination using clues along the way to guide them. The route is pre-defined and handed out at the beginning of the event. Along the route, there are clues to decipher in order to "win" the rally.

The Border Run Rally is a self-paced, non-timed, street legal gimmick rally. The rally is open to slow and fast drivers of cars and trucks of any type.

How can I participate in the fun? To participate, please register soon on the BorderRunRally.com website. Registration Link

Is the Border Run Rally only a drive? The Rally is an event which includes an opportunity to drive your car through the countryside seeing sites and scenery long-forgotten. In addition, Saturday evening after the rally will be filled with fun as the teams gather for awards, drinks, and dinner.

What does the registration fee cover? There is a registration fee to cover the costs of the event. The organizers of the event have covered thousands of miles choosing the route, selecting the gimmicks, and ensuring that fun will be had for drivers of all types. Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place plus some other fun awards. During the event you will be responsible for fuel, food, and drinks.

Sounds like a fun day! I'll have to talk to my navigator to see if this date works.

Here's a shot from the last Border Run Rally.

too many miles for my blood

That's what I'm thinking. It sounds awesome in concept, but 400+ miles in 1 day? Even at 60mph, that's over 6.5hrs of driving. And presumably, if these are twisty, scenic roads, we wouldn't be averaging 60mph.

Everything else sounds awesome, though. I still might be tempted if there are slots open later.

Edit: Oops... scratch that. That's TX-OU weekend, so I'll be otherwise engaged.

I can vouch for this drive. The miles are worth it, the roads that Brian has laid out are great!
