“Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” Gimmick Rally

PNWR 2026 Gimmick Rally

About this event

Important note:  This is a rally, not a tour.  Therefore, there must be at least two people in each car.  No solo drivers so do not register if you do not have a passenger.

Come join us for a different kind of driving adventure on the 4th annual PNWR gimmick rally! This "planes, trains, and automobiles" themed rally will have you discovering unique sights and history related to multiple modes transportation in the northwest. As you tour through screnic roads you will look for clues to and questions to answer along the way. Answer sheets will be collected at the end of the tour and prizes will be given for top scores!

Unlike group-based tours, each car will be released from the start separately and receive their own set of instructions which include driving directions, location-based historical facts, and clues for things to watch out for and answer while following along the tour. Designed to be family and/or partner friendly, total driving time should be around 3-4 hours (depending on your pace) with plenty of stops along the way. NOTE: You MUST have a navigator to join the tour (no solo entries allowed).
