Registration is now open for the 31st SCCA United States Road Rally Challenge (USRRC), taking place October 9-11. Hosted this year by the St. Louis Region, Road Rally's annual "Challenge" weekend will feature three national rallies that together will cover some 600 miles of rural Illinois roads across the river from St. Louis and the Gateway Arch.

This year's USRRC also will include the Gateway Challenge Cup, a pair of rallies designed for the new or occasional rally team desiring to explore Road Rallies that are a bit longer than a typical afternoon or evening weekend event.

This year marks the fifth time in the USRRC's three-decade history that St. Louis Region, with help from SCCA's Southern Illinois Region, has hosted the event. Previously, St. Louis hosted the weekend in 1998, 2001, 2005, and 2018.

The Comfort Inn in Edwardsville, Illinois, will serve as this year's event headquarters, with the rallies themselves exploring the countryside of southern Illinois north, east, and west of Edwardsville.

After check-in and hospitality on October 8, the weekend will open with the South by Southeast National Course Rally, Friday, October 9, to be followed by the Great River Road National Touring Rally on Saturday, October 10, and the Route 66 Ramble National Touring Rally on Sunday, October 11.

The South by Southeast Rally is new to both the National Championship schedule and the USRRC, while the Great River Road Tour made its initial appearance on the National schedule as part of the 2001 USRRC. Introduced as part of a double Divisional weekend in 2016, the Route 66 Ramble will help celebrate the centenary of the "Mother Road" by exploring portions of the historic highway between Edwardsville and Litchfield, Illinois.

Both Touring rallies will be part of the Gateway Challenge Cup.
