Sturgis Bronco Rally to thrill enthusiasts

STURGIS – Gear up for an off-road adventure like no other! 

The Sturgis Bronco Rally, set to take place from Oct. 3 to 6, promises to bring Bronco enthusiasts from across the nation to explore one of the most scenic regions in the United States — the beautiful Black Hills. 

Whether you’re a seasoned off-road driver or a newcomer looking to master the art of navigating rugged terrains, this event is designed for all skill levels, says organizer Dan Jacobsen.

This rally will bring together Bronco lovers for a four-day event filled with exhilarating activities, scenic drives, and opportunities to bond over shared passions, Jacobsen said.

Explore the Black Hills off-road

The rally offers a rare chance to experience the breathtaking landscapes of the Black Hills in a way most visitors never get to see — off-road and from behind the wheel of their trusty Bronco. Drivers will be able to take part in guided tours through the Black Hills, immersing themselves in the natural beauty and rugged terrains of this beautiful area, which includes some of the country's most iconic landscapes.
