The 2026 Kielder 500 was our 10th year running the event and we must say, it was one of the best ones yet! Great weather, a full house of riders and as always, an incredibly friendly atmosphere.
If you missed out on entries to the Kielder 500, don't worry! We'll be returning to Kielder Forest for the epic 'Dark Skies Rally' in October AND...we have been invited back for another special event in August... More on this very soon!
Because every adventure rider should get the opportunity experience riding in Kielder Forest!

Curious about roadbook navigation?
Here's how to get started in 5 easy steps...
1.Download the "Roadbook Navigation Quick Start Guide" available for free on RallyMoto.co.uk
2. Watch the "Getting Started with Roadbook Navigation" training series - also available on the RallyMoto website.
3. Join our facebook group "RallyMoto: Adventure Rally & Roadbook" to connect with our incredibly friendly community for advice & support.
4. Enter a remote 'Challenge' and practise roadbooking in your own time using the RallyMoto digital app. This summer we have: 'the Blazing Saddles Challenge' (trail) & 'the Cannonball Road Rally Challenge' (tarmac).
5. Join an in-person event to meet and ride with like-minded roadbook enthusiasts. Great starter events are our one-day 'Adventure Rally Raids' or the bigger (but just as beginner friendly) Adventure Rallies (Kielder 500, Zero Hero Wales etc)
From that point on, there is no limit to where you can take your roadbooking skills.
Keep progressing and go rallying abroad, maybe enter a desert race?
Or stay local and enjoy the range of roadbooking events we host in the UK throughout the year.

It's nearly time...
In less than 2 weeks, nearly 200 riders will be navigating over 500kms of wide open forestry tracks, with far reaching views and the feeling of utter remoteness.
Yes the 2026 Kielder 500 Adventure Rally is just around the corner, are you ready to rally?
Itching for a proper adventure this summer?
Do you want the feeling of real remoteness, like you’re on a journey with no idea where you’re going, but knowing that your route will take you on world class roads, with epic scenery, the best twisties, and lead you to a luxury accommodation at the end of the day?
Do you enjoy riding alone, yet appreciate the comfort of knowing you have support in the background in case anything goes wrong?
Do you like the idea of discovering new routes and regions by adventure bike, without the burden of being fully loaded with luggage?
Do you yearn to take your bike abroad, to get away for a short while, yet feel overwhelmed by the planning and organising involved?
Do you love the challenge of navigating by roadbook, but are only equipped and willing to ride on paved roads?
The Estrela Adventure Rally is ready to roll, this summer. All you need is to get yourself to the ferry port bound for Spain, and we’ll take care of the rest.
It’s not a tour, it’s not a race, it’s a fully supported Adventure Rally along the very best roads in central Portugal.
