April 10, 2010

The 2010 MudCoast Road Rally is a free exclusive event for members of Road Rally Charities. Held on Saturday April 10, it is a road rally designed to utilize as many B level maintenance and gravel roads in rural Iowa as possible.

Participants will be notified of the date no more than a week before the start as weather and ground conditions will dictate when we will see the best mud. The course will be approximately 100 miles and cover almost exclusively gravel and earthen roads.

Conditions may be wet, cold and muddy and everyone should dress accordingly. Vehicles should be equipped to handle adverse road conditions including mud, snow, ice, gravel, cow pies, etc. Level B maintenance roads can be dangerous and drivers should at all times drive within their vehicles limits and their own abilities. B Level and gravel road conditions vary greatly and some vehicles may find some roads impassable.

The MudCoast Rally is designed to be a very informal event and at times participants may need to find alternate routes. The route will take the participants to a small town Iowa cafe for lunch. After lunch the route will take the caravan back towards Des Moines through new and previously driven roads.

More information regarding suggested vehicle specifications and other suggested items will be relayed as the date comes closer.
