The Pacific Forest Rally is back in Merritt!!!

After a number of years off due to Covid and natural disasters, PFR ran again in 2024 and was a huge success thanks to all the volunteers who came together to make the event possible!  We are now looking for volunteers to help us run PFR 2025.

While a lot of work and planning goes into organizing a stage rally, some details can not be decided till the very end of the planning process.

That being said, here is what the tentative plan looks like at the moment:

Thursday May 29: set up and possibly tech and recce

Friday May 30: tech and recce and possibly couple of stages

Saturday May 31: stages stages stages

Sunday June 1: clean up

Amateur Radio operators are integral for the safety of a rally event. The event will not be possible without the support of the local Radio community.  Please consider coming out to Merritt this May and helping out.

Amateur Radio operators are needed for various duties during stages, mainly road blocking and time controls. So the greatest need for radio operators is on Friday night and Saturday. Friday stages might run from about 5pm, and Saturday will likely run from 8am to 8pm. This means volunteers will need to be in place about an hour and half earlier. And of course if you have time and want to join the fun early on it will be greatly appreciated.

PRF organizers will provide lodging or partial lodging reimbursement and Saturday lunch. The plan is to have a volunteer appreciation banquet after the event Saturday night.

Please fill in the form (link below) to register as a volunteer.  There is still a couple of months till the event, but we will be in touch every couple weeks to keep all the volunteers in the loop.
