Headwaters Rally

04/12/2026

This isn’t a club rally based out of a backwoods bar.
And this isn’t a quick stay at a roadside motel.

Welcome to Headwaters Rally — based at Chase on the Lake.
An iconic lakeside resort nestled between downtown Walker and the shores of Leech Lake.

While the cars are out on stage, there’s just as much here for everyone else —
lake views, great food, walking access to town, and space to relax and enjoy the weekend.

This is a rally you don’t have to explain to your family.
It’s one they’ll want to come back to.

Spectators, this one’s for you..
On Headwaters competition day, May 16th…

We’re not giving you one place to watch.
We’re giving you three.
Crossroads returns.
A full stage start.
And a corner built for action.
More access. More angles. More rally.

Details on where to go — and when to be there — drop in a couple of weeks.
Pick your spot. Or try to hit all three.

Registration is Open.
Headwaters Rally: Real Roads. Real Fast. Real Fun.
This isn’t just a rally- it’s the full Northwoods experience.
Based at Chase on the Lake, nestled between downtown Walker and the shores of Leech Lake, Headwaters now delivers a true destination event. World-class roads. A premier lakeside resort. And a rally weekend designed to be experienced, not rushed through.

Last year’s party set the tone. This year, we raise it.
Live music. Lakeside atmosphere. A place to stay, celebrate, and be part of something bigger than the race.
Race the Pines. Stay for the Night.

The Crossroads Jump is coming back at the Headwaters Rally… but there’s one question everyone keeps asking.
Which direction are we running it this year?

West to East?
East to West?

Rumor has it there might even be TWO spectator areas for in 2026.
Drop your guess in the comments..
Bonus points if you explain why your direction is the faster line.
