Rally Anglo Caledonian 2026

The Rally Anglo Caledonian is a two-day gravel special stage rally based at Carlisle Lake District Airport on 20-21 November 2026, organised by the Roger Albert Clark Rally Motor Club. Three Kielder stages run twice on Friday, three Scottish Borders stages twice on Saturday — 12 stages, 115 stage miles and 241 road miles. It is the final round of the Fuchs British Historic Rally Championship and a round of the Mini Rally Challenge.

Back for its second running after its November 2024 debut, the 2026 edition is billed by the organisers as the longest gravel rally in the UK this year at 115 stage miles over two days, with three stages run twice on each day and an 18-mile Kershope opener on Saturday that also takes in Newcastleton. Alongside the main two-day event there are single-day options — the Rally Anglo on Friday and Rally Caledonian on Saturday — and the satellite Caledonian Mini Challenge on Saturday; the BHRC entry fee is £1,995 including safety tracking, with a £100 credit for crews who entered the 2025 Roger Albert Clark Rally.
