2021 Cochrane Winter Rally
Welcome to Cochrane Winter Rally, Event 1 of 5 in the Western Canadian Rally Championship.
Welcome to Cochrane Winter Rally, Event 1 of 5 in the Western Canadian Rally Championship.
Between increasing COVID-19 numbers and not reaching an agreement with Alberta Health for an exemption in time to adequately organize the event, the organisers feel the responsible choice is to cancel.
Our discussions with Alberta Health are continuing and we are optimistic that we will be able to run Rocky in late May.
This year's event is PENDING Alberta Health Approval. We will keep this page updated based on guidance received by Alberta Health. The event is not yet guaranteed. Please plan accordingly.
Cochrane Winter Rally is based out of Cochrane, Alberta and Hosted by the Calgary Sports Car Club.
Covid has presented many new challenges to the rally community. If you have previously attended the Cochrane Winter Rally, expect to see changes in the operation of our event this year.
We require competitors to comply with mitigation measures regardless of personal beliefs. Measures put in place will be guided by Alberta Health, and any facilities hosting us.
We look forward to bringing a fun and safe event for everyone.
The Organising Team

2nd Overall 2020 - 2000 Subaru Impreza RS
The rally will be run in the forestry and oil roads in the familiar Fallen Timber forestry area. The timing of the rally provides road conditions that will be tricky and unpredictable. Gravel, snow, and lots of ice are virtually guaranteed.

Reconnaissance or 'Recce', gives teams a chance to see the roads on the day before the event and make their own description of the stage. The ability to mark hazards and make a knowledgeable tire choice makes the event faster and safer for all participants.
With the level of interest in Rallying continuing to grow, the 2021 Cochrane Winter Rally is expecting a large and competitive field at this year's event.
Roger Sieber / Garrett Mealing
3rd Overall 2020 - 2007 Subaru STI

Detailed Results will be available here
There will be no spectating due to Covid-19 restrictions.
One of the best ways to get into rallying and learn how and what to do is to volunteer to help out at an event.
There are many positions available, most not requiring any special knowledge (we'll teach you anyway). From the registration table to timing controls and spectator control.
Volunteers are needed:
Some positions need specialist skills. People with qualifications as amateur radio operators, emergency medical technicians, and advanced first aid are critical for event safety and security.
