About this event
Sunday, April 19, 2026, 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM
A tour TSD Road Rally, about 90 miles all paved roads along the Grand River from Grand Rapids to Grand Haven and back
What You Need:
- A Teammate: Road Rally is a team sport! Teams consist of Driver and Navigator. No teammate? Let us know, we can pair you up with someone
- A Car: Any road-legal car is allowed. Most of the roads you’ll drive are paved backroads around Grand Rapids, but ordinary passenger cars will be just fine
- A SmartPhone: Nearly all checkpoints in Road Rallies are set up via GPS. You’ll need the Richta Competitor App* to test out your new skills
- Pen, Paper, and Calculator: Road Rally has some math and some notes. A basic 4-function or cell phone calculator can do everything you need, but it should be a phone that won’t be used for the Competitor App.
* Look for "Competitor Richta GPS Checkpoints" app on Google Play Store or Apple App Store or click on the appropriate link:

Prior to the rally, all the checkpoint information (locations by Latitude and Longitude and the correct arrival times) is loaded onto the internet by the rally master. People who register for the rally are given a car number and the password for the app. Each Rally Team then goes to the site and downloads the information for their car. The contestants will NOT be able to view Rally Master information. During the rally, when each car reaches a checkpoint, the contestant’s device will signal a checkpoint has been reached with a “bing-bong” sound. The device will then display your time entered and your score and say “early” or “late”. Your total score for the rally to that point will also be displayed.

Event requirements
ATTENTION! the “Competitor App” must be the only app open on that device, everything else must be closed or it may not detect a checkpoint. If you intend to use a TSD rally app to do your calculations, you will need it installed on a different device.
Please read the following carefully and register to compete in the appropriate equipment class.
S -Stock Class - You may not use any external odometer or a GPS-based odometer app on a phone or tablet device. You must manually enter mileage into the app using the app’s mileage input function.
L - Limited Class – Your mileage can come from any odometer, and you must manually enter mileage into the app using the app’s mileage input function.
G - GPS Class - You may choose to use a TSD rally computer app on your phone or tablet that automatically accumulates mileage based upon input from the device’s internal GPS, or from a separate third-party GPS receiver, but not from a driven wheel.
E - Equipped Class – Has no restrictions.
N - Novice Class - Requirements are identical to Stock class. To qualify as a Novice class competitor (driver and navigator, combined, have competed in six or fewer rallies).
