What is The Overlanders Rally all about?
The First Edition Overlanders Rally in 2023 was a 2 day self-guided GPS route that took us cross-country, from the east coast of Ireland to the west through some of the country’s most breathtaking scenery along some lesser explored public roads. It was the first in a series of themed rallies for the coming years that will be held both in Ireland and further afield. The route for the events is designed to be ridden individually or with your mates at your own pace over the course of two days. For sure you can ride as much or as little of the route as you want. Our route planners / navigators / linesmen have litterlly millions of kilometers under their belts and know every nook and cranny of the Emerald Isle. The route will include countless waypoints and points of interest – some of which you may already know but more which you most likely won’t.
Who’s it suitable for?
Anybody with two wheels and a sense of adventure!
What are the options?
Of course, you can follow our route exactly, make your own or mix and match as you please.
What the riding difficulty?
This event is designed to have an element of challenge. However, with that in mind we will offer two different levels for 2026. The whole enchilada or a more leisurely country tour…
What about accommodation options?
Three options. Book our hotel package. Camp where you like or book your own. We will compile a list of possible camping locations closer to the date.
What do I need to navigate?
Again 3 options: A GPS that you can upload a .gpx file to, a smartphone or simply follow someone else!
