It is an event we put on every year and we invite all wheelers to come and have fun. We are a family friendly club and the events we have are fun to most wheelers and the raffles we have are a blast.

Awards Ceremony & RaffleYOU MUST BE PRESENT TO WIN RAFFLE PRIZES!Sunday 03-03-201310:00AM - DoneKing of the Hill Challenge (Timed Trail Challenge)MEET AT THE PAVILION AT 9:30AM TO FIND OUT WHAT TRAIL(S) WILL BE RUN!
All non Megarun rigs and Megarun competitors who do not wish to join a trail ride group are asked to stay off the trails during this four and a half hour window. This allows the guided groups to get through the trails on schedule without having to wait on other traffic. Don't worry if you do not want to participate in the group rides, there are plenty of open trail hours during the weekend.Rock GardenThe Rock Garden's object is to see how far you can get in the time allotted. The rig in each class that goes the farthest in one minute wins. If more than one rig completes the course under the time limit, the rig with the lowest time wins. Expect to see some carnage.
Obstacle CourseThe Obstacle Course challenges each driver to complete a series of obstacles. The course is designed to equalize the playing field: extremely built rigs will excel in some areas whereas stock rigs will excel in other areas. This is a timed challenge but speed is not always the key. Awards will be given for the best time in each class.
Blind Man's BluffSo you think you can drive? What if we said you can run your rig but you can't see what is coming? Yep, you are the driver and you are going to be blindfolded. A copiliot of your choice* will be sitting next to you and telling you where to go and what to do in order to navigate the course we have laid out in the fastest time. This will be a blast to watch but be carefull how close you sit to the track!
* Megarun is not responsible for any lost friendships or broken relationships as a result of your choice of copilot. Please choose wisely.King of the HillSunday morning is time to settle old scores. A timed trail challenge; the winner of this event will walk away with bragging rights and a trophy (KotH trophy will be awarded for the Unlimited class and an All Others class) . This trail is a closely kept secret. You may put your name in the hat to run this trail, and will be allowed to back out if you want, but we do not reveal the name of this trail until Sunday morning. It's time to put up or shut up!

The run will end back at the pavilion where each score sheet will be examined and the best poker hand takes the prize.Trail RidesSaturday will start off with a morning trail ride.

The different classes will experience trails suited to their difficulty.
All non Megarun rigs and Megarun competitors who do not wish to join a trail ride group are asked to stay off the trails during this four and a half hour window. This allows the guided groups to get through the trails on schedule without having to wait on other traffic. Don't worry if you do not want to participate in the group rides, there are plenty of open trail hours during the weekend.Rock GardenThe Rock Garden's object is to see how far you can get in the time allotted. The rig in each class that goes the farthest in one minute wins. If more than one rig completes the course under the time limit, the rig with the lowest time wins. Expect to see some carnage.
Obstacle CourseThe Obstacle Course challenges each driver to complete a series of obstacles. The course is designed to equalize the playing field: extremely built rigs will excel in some areas whereas stock rigs will excel in other areas. This is a timed challenge but speed is not always the key. Awards will be given for the best time in each class.
Blind Man's BluffSo you think you can drive? What if we said you can run your rig but you can't see what is coming? Yep, you are the driver and you are going to be blindfolded. A copiliot of your choice* will be sitting next to you and telling you where to go and what to do in order to navigate the course we have laid out in the fastest time. This will be a blast to watch but be carefull how close you sit to the track!

A timed trail challenge; the winner of this event will walk away with bragging rights and a trophy (KotH trophy will be awarded for the Unlimited class and an All Others class) . This trail is a closely kept secret. You may put your name in the hat to run this trail, and will be allowed to back out if you want, but we do not reveal the name of this trail until Sunday morning. It's time to put up or shut up!
