Most finish as far as I know, only a couple really bad spots with no way around. I blew a belt last year right after first checkpoint and a buddy broke a tierod and we all still finished with time to spare. Go to YouTube should be some vids of the rally.

the last two years has been drier than a popcorn fart. More like a race course. When it's wet this is a good challenge to finish. With it being may 12 the ground will still be frozen so it should be easy and not bottomless.

Been 3 times with my wife and friends we all finished every time. It's not that hard. Just don't be last through and the mud holes aren't that bad.

I believe it's around 50k long. As said before its been dry last 2-3 years so relatively easy. When it's wet it's a challenge. With the exception of last year, I've gone 7 years running. Only once I've not made it back by 6, but that was due to some pretty major issues with a tracked machine.

staging area is Robb, registration is at the rec center in town (its a very small town haha) Camping there is a few spots just outside the town if interested. Forgot what the cost is, 15 or 20 to enter and 1 hand, 5 or 10 a hand after that? something like that.

Robb is due south of Edson....you go to Edson....drive thru the town on the way to Jasper...about 3 or 4 clicks from edson you will see a UFA gas station and a bridge..turn left...follow road for about 40 or 50 k to get to robb...Right off the hiway ..you will see a stageing area for the day riders...unload and drive into town to the rec centre..the town is so small you will never miss the rec centre..there is usaully between 500 and 600 riders..loads of fun and one of the best rally courses out there
