Seven horsepower carried Cannon Ball Baker across America in 1914. A WR250R carried Sahil across it in 2026. The bike was small. The ride was not. This award is for that.

A Rally Master’s Award, Regulation 8-E.
Competitor #1
The Stig
AKA Captain Chaos · KTM 1290 · Team Chaos · 2025 and 2026
Somewhere on Cottonwood Pass, Colorado, the bag carrying his tools and his clothes left the back of the motorcycle without him, and with it went his rally. This award comes with Enduristan luggage, so that the next thing he loses on a mountain pass is only time.

The Route
2026 USA ADV Cannonball Rally
Plymouth to the Pacific
There are two significant changes for the 2026 ADV Cannonball Rally.
Book Your Own Stay
Competitors are now responsible for booking their own accommodations. We've secured a Hilton Group Link with a substantial discount, but each rider or team leader manages their own room: roommates, check-in and check-out, points and perks, and cancellations. Group Links are limited to 50 rooms per hotel on a first-come, first-served basis, and are typically valid up to 60 days before arrival. Riders can book elsewhere if needed, though we don't recommend it.
More Miles, Optional Dirt
Competitors asked for more miles and more difficulty, so that's what they're getting. Riders who complete every paved checkpoint and follow the route in full will be rewarded with some of the best motorcycle roads in the country. Based on our spring 2025 pre-run, riders who keep a spirited pace and leave on time each morning will reach the evening hotel before dark.
Plymouth, MA → Central Pennsylvania
Catskills to the Appalachian Foothills
The route runs through at least ten state forests and wilderness areas on day one alone. Butler Map's "Gold Motorcycle Roads" carry riders through New York's Catskills before the route rips through the Slide Mountain Wilderness. The day finishes in the foothills of the Appalachians, with an overnight stay in Penn State's college town.
Central Pennsylvania → Lexington
Into Appalachia
Riders collect GPS checkpoints while navigating forested mountain roads through the Appalachian range on the way to Lexington.
Across America
Open Road
Two days of covering serious distance, the true spirit of any Cannonball event, close the gap toward the Rockies. If the weather cooperates, the day-five climb into Colorado is framed by fall color that looks like a postcard.
Colorado Rockies → Moab, UT
Cumberland Pass to Onion Creek
Day five splits the field into two groups. Off-pavement riders take on Tin Cup via Cumberland Pass and the switchbacks of "Lands End" in Colorado, while both groups share incredible G-1 paved roads heading west. In Utah, riders make their way into Moab on the Onion Creek ADV route, crossing more than 15 shallow water crossings beneath red rock views. The paved-only group rides a series of winding roads through some of the finest motorcycle terrain in the Rockies.
Moab → Las Vegas
Burr Trail to the Backbone
This is the hardest stage of the rally, best suited to riders who handled day five without trouble. The off-pavement route runs dirt and sand down the Burr Trail Switchbacks and through Singing and Cottonwood Canyons. The paved route still demands pace to beat the sunset, threading Hell's Backbone, Capitol Reef, and Zion National Park. The ADVC is a friendly competition, not a retirement bagger tour, though we'd love to see a bagger take the day. The views of Monument Valley, the Valley of Fire, and Lake Mead make it worth the effort.
Skip any optional off-pavement section in bad weather.
Las Vegas → Bakersfield
Death Valley to the Sierra
The ride heads west through Red Rock Canyon and Death Valley before noon. After Father Crowley Valley, the group climbs the Sierra Nevada into Sequoia Forest. At Isabella Lake, riders choose a 4x4 trail down the mountain or a paved run through classic California canyon roads into Bakersfield.
Final Day
Three Elevations, One Finish
The last day covers three distinct elevation ranges and two ADV route options. If the coastal road is open, the route may reroute through Big Sur.
