On the first weekend in June each year the Pemberton Off Road Rebels club presents a great 4X4 off road rally event. Many friends and families come together to enjoy this very family friendly outdoor event. The 4X4 off road events are held across two days and provide a variety of entertainment for the spectators. It was free for the public to attend during 2012. The location of the off road track is between Whistler and Pemberton on HWY 99 at Green Rivers.
The photo below shows the hill climb event that was over 300 metres in length and very steep. The competitor in the photo below is driving using no hands as he waves at the camera. The runs during the hill climb competition are measured by distance and time.

There was a wide variety of vehicles that entered the competition. The challenges for the 4X4 off road vehicles are all viewable for the general public to enjoy across the two days of the rally. The photo below shows a more stylish off road vehicle that is based out of Pemberton, BC.

The mud pit event is one of the most exciting and a spectator favorite. This is when the event crew digs a very large trench and fills it with mud. Then the competitors drive at speed over a jump into the mud pit and race to the other side to complete the timed event. The competitor with the fastest time wins the event.
