Targa Newfoundland, the only tarmac rally of its kind in North America, has released the route for this fall’s event with some old favourites and some exciting new stages.

Experience the adrenaline-fuelled thrills of the legendary Targa Newfoundland rally, now in its 25th year. When you compete in Targa, adventure awaits you every day on twisty, challenging roads through amazing scenery.

Our rally has been running for over 20 years, since 2002, and we take pride in our enviable safety record, one of the best in our sport.

After the two-day Targa school and practice sessions, teams in the Duemila event will cover about 2000 km over six days from eastern to central Newfoundland and back again, including about 500 km on closed stages at speed through dozens of communities. Competitors in Routoura will enjoy the thrills of four days on the road.

We’ve changed things up a bit this year. We’ve made some adjustments to existing stages and added some thrilling new ones.

Also new this year is the Transit Challenge, which refers to a section of a transit between stages where a measurable distance must be completed within the posted speed limits in a specified time limit. Penalties will be incurred for being early or late at the finish of the Transit. Think of it as a mini TSD (time, speed, distance) rally in the middle of the speed stages.

Overnight stays will be in St. John’s, Clarenville and Gander. Check out Our Targa Communities to learn more about these places and all the communities hosting Targa and visit the Where to Stay page for information on accommodations.

Join us for the thrill of a lifetime.
