About this weekend

SCCA Philadellphia Region Presents a weekend of Road Rallies June 12 - June 14, 2026

LITTLE APPALACHIAN 53 - Saturday, June 13, 2026 (National Course Rally)

Once again Little Appalachian will use the Abridged RoadRally Rules and add both lettered route instructions and a special rule. This year's rule, the Change State Route Number Rule (CSRN), will involve changing your PA state route number by an amount which will vary by leg. The course will be moderately challenging and will traverse scenic back roads in mostly Lancaster County Pennsylvania. Little Appalachian 50 in 2023, part of that year's USRRC also ran in Lancaster County, but this year we will be running a bit south and west of that route. Little Appalachian 50 and 51 (in 2024) both won the Gervais award as best national course rally in that year.

LITTLEST APPALACHIAN DIVISIONAL - Sunday June 14, 2026 (Divisional Tour Rally)

Littlest Appalachian Divisional is a tour rally that is completely straightforward (no traps or tricks) and will run mostly in Berks County, PA where Little Appalachian 51 ran in 2024. The rally will feature an extended mid-rally break in Birdsboro, PA which will allow for a visit to the Louis J Mascaro Automotive Museum which is a non-profit museum benefiting children with autism and Downs Syndrome. Philadelphia Region will make a donation to the museum and contestants can visit the museum at no extra cost.

LITTLEST APPALACHIAN REGIONAL - Sunday June 14, 2026 (Regional Tour Rally)

Littlest Appalachian Regional will run mostly concurrently with the divisional event, but will start later.and run essentially the same course. The regional event will offer a single class, SOP (seat of the pants). In the SOP class you can only use a stock odometer and no continual early/late calculations are permitted.
