In the past, Pacific Forest Rally was held on the Battle Creek roads of Cache Creek, BC. As the event grew in size and popularity, the demand for a larger venue and fresh road systems made the City of Merritt, BC a natural choice.

With the supportive environment of the businesses, land owners, ranchers and Ministries of the government, it has made for a speedy transition and higher quality of event both for the spectators and the competitors.

The central highway access has also made for excellent attraction to competitors from across the border, from Washington and Oregon. The friendly people of Merritt have welcomed rallying in the most hospitable atmosphere.
