Hot on the heels of the hard-fought 2025 SA Rally-Raid Championship (SARRC), which ended in jubilation for some and heartbreak for others, SA Rally-Raid are pleased to announce the 2026 SARRC Calendar.
If the 2025 season was anything to go by with exhilarating racing and titles that went down to the wire, competitors, teams, supporters and enthusiasts can look forward to yet another tantalising SARRC season.
T
he championship will kick off on 6 & 7 March with an all new National Championship event in the cattle farming hamlet of Stella in the North West Province, which played host to the overnight bivouac for the inaugural SA Safari Rally, round three of the World Rally Raid Championship (W2RC) in May this year and situated approximately 45 kilometres from the town of Vryburg.
Round two of the championship, and the only Marathon event on the calendar will lure competitors to the much applauded Louvain Guest Farm nestling between the beautiful Langkloof Valley and the Kammanassie Mountains in the George area of the Western Cape on 8, 9 and 10 May.
After a short break of six weeks, the SARRC will continue on 19 and 20 June when the third round will be decided on the banks of the Vaal River on the outskirts of the vibrant town of Parys in the Free State with race headquarters and the designated service park again accommodated at Stonehenge River Lodge which geographically falls in the North West Province.
Round four of the 2026 SARRC will playout in the heart of winter at the popular Legends Adventure Farm approximately midway between Bronkhorstspruit and Pretoria on 24 & 25 July, before heading to Northern KwaZulu- Natal and the mining and cattle ranching areas of Vryheid for the penultimate round on 9 & 10 October.
Limpopo Province and the environs of the lush bushveld towns of Northam and Thabazimbi are due to welcome all with warm open arms for the season finale on 13 & 14 November, and judging from recent history another epic culmination to a successful 2026 SARRC season.
