Malton Forest Rally 2026

The Malton Forest Rally returns for its 23rd running on Sunday 1 November 2026, co-promoted by Malton Motor Club and Clitheroe and District Motor Club, with Rally HQ and service park at Adderstone Field in Dalby Forest near Pickering, North Yorkshire. The Interclub stage rally sends crews over around 47 gravel stage miles through the Cropton, Gale Rigg and Langdale complexes, with entries capped at 110 cars. It counts towards five northern championships.

The 2026 running marks the rally's return after the 2025 event was cancelled in the wake of the Langdale forest fires. Regulations were published on Friday 28 August with entries opening via rallies.info on Sunday 30 August, and the official notice board moves online through the Sportity app with Sporttraxx tracking fitted to every competing car. The route is still being finalised, with around 47 stage miles planned across the Cropton, Gale Rigg and Langdale forest complexes.
