The UK’s ultimate off-road challenge is back – and it’s louder than ever.
After a strategic hiatus to recharge and reinvent, The Stampede returns from July 10th–12th, 2026. We didn’t just take a break; we built a bigger, tougher, and more exhilarating experience for our community. This year, we aren’t just crossing finish lines – we’re breaking records.
We are very pleased to announce details of this year’s RED Winch Challenge Off-Road Event, the 2026 ‘Stampede’.
We have worked closely with a fantastic landowner for the last 4 years, which some of you may know, shares our love and passion for off-road events and all things motorsport. Chris Lerwill is kindly allowing the event to take place on his land once again, and what a fantastic site it is on the edge of Exmoor.
The Stampede event is in North Devon near Combe Martin, on the edge of Exmoor, overlooking the coastline and Bristol Channel and beyond into Wales… not a bad spot at all. And a fantastic off-road site to keep all of you, at all levels, challenged for the whole weekend.
The object of the event is for a single vehicle (Driver & Co-Driver) to locate various punches/discs around a long, single-direction lap-style course. It will have 100+ punches laid out all along the route. You need to drive and reach the punches with your truck. The punches are at varying levels of difficulty, some easy, some very technical. This is how we have always set out our events, and the feedback has always been positive.
