Bivouac access and companion tickets

The main ticketed access restrictions apply in the bivouac area. Adult companions and followers who want bivouac access or want to use event facilities need a valid companion ticket. Companion tickets help us manage limited facilities, keep security standards high, and identify visitors on site with wristbands collected from the registration table. Open-field viewers are welcome in public viewing areas, but riding along the rally route or following a rider without a valid ticket is still prohibited. We aim to publish a map with the best viewpoints before the event. The exception is a companion under 18 who is not driving and therefore does not need a separate companion ticket. If someone enters restricted bivouac access without the required ticket, or rides along the route without a valid ticket, the organizers reserve the right to remove them from the event area and disqualify the associated rider without refund.

Important notice

The rally takes place on public roads open to traffic where all traffic laws apply. All participants must comply with traffic regulations. Motorcycles must have valid documentation and a valid technical inspection. Police may stop riders for documentation and technical checks. The organizers assume no liability for accidents.

Alakonnu Rally info FAQ

Practical answers about the event base, schedule, requirements, and what to expect at Alakonnu Rally 2026.

Where is the Alakonnu Rally base camp located?

The rally base camp is at Kaagjärve Manor in Southern Estonia. The event center, rider check-in, and weekend logistics are built around the Kaagjärve Manor area.

What kind of roads and terrain can riders expect?

Riders can expect a roadbook rally route that combines village roads, forest sections, and local farm tracks in the Valga and Võru County region of Southern Estonia.

Can I ride the route on an ATV or UTV?

No. The Alakonnu Rally route is for motorcycles only. ATVs, UTVs, quads, SSVs, and other four-wheeled off-road vehicles are not permitted on the route.

How is a roadbook rally different from an enduro rally?

A roadbook rally differs from an enduro rally because you are not only riding the terrain, you are also constantly following roadbook instructions, distances, and turns at the same time. In many enduro events the route is marked with tape or arrows, but in a roadbook rally you must find the correct way from the navigation notes yourself. Reading and following the instructions is a challenge of its own, not just the riding.

What are the basic motorcycle requirements?

Participants need a technically sound motorcycle with valid insurance, working brakes and lights, and a valid technical inspection where required.

What does the Alakonnu Rally weekend schedule look like?

The rally weekend runs from Friday, October 2, 2026 to Sunday, October 4, 2026. Friday includes registration, the opening ceremony, and the night stage, with more detailed Saturday and Sunday timing announced closer to the event.

Where can I get food, groceries, and fuel during the rally weekend?
During your stay at Kaagjärve Manor, in-house catering is available on site. During the rally day itself, participants must plan their own food stops and carry what they need on the bike. If you need extra groceries or supplies, the nearest larger stores are in Valga. One convenient option is Kungla Konsum, Kungla 37b, 68205 Valga. The nearest gas stations are Alexela Valga, Vabaduse 41, 68205 Valga and Olerex Valga, Transpordi 2, 68205 Valga.
