For nearly 40 years, the Alcan 5000 Rally has been one of North America’s longest and most arduous time-speed-distance (TSD) rallies. This 10-day, 5,000-mile endurance competition challenges dozens of teams. Its route can span the entire length of Canada and/or Alaska and crisscross them in an uneven fashion.
The Alcan 5000 Rally is held every other year (alternating summer and winter like the Olympics). It’s a precision event where competitors drive on public roads at or below posted speed limits and follow specific route instructions given to them in a roadbook by the event’s rally master. Teams with the lowest scores win their class, with the best of the best winning the entire competition. TSD challenges typically happen in the morning and are followed by several hundred miles of transit sections to get to the next TSD event or an overnight stay.
