Artemis Rally 2027
April 28 -May 1, 2027 | New River Gorge, West Virginia
Presented by Overlander Project
Artemis Rally is celebrating its 5th Anniversary, and this year’s experience will be our boldest and most unforgettable yet.
Set deep in the rugged beauty of West Virginia’s New River Gorge, Artemis Rally is designed for women who crave challenge, connection, adventure, and the thrill of pushing beyond their comfort zones.
This is not a luxury retreat.
This is not a guided scenic tour.
This is a true outdoor adventure rally created exclusively for women.
What Is Artemis Rally?
Artemis Rally is a multi-day women’s adventure competition that combines navigation, teamwork, outdoor skills, strategy, resilience, and adrenaline-filled challenges across some of the most breathtaking terrain in the eastern United States.
You and your teammate will navigate remote mountain roads, tackle physical and mental challenges, and experience the wild beauty of Appalachia alongside an incredible community of adventurous women.
Whether you drive a stock SUV, an overland build, or a modified rig, Artemis Rally is about far more than the vehicle.
It’s about:
- Confidence
- Courage
- Teamwork
- Grit
- Adventure
- And discovering what you’re truly capable of
Basecamp: Ace Adventure Resort
