Participants enjoyed lots of time on the course as well as educational clinics hosted by the Avants Off-Road team. The women learned how to properly use traction boards as well as kinetic recovery and winching techniques. They also got a special demonstration from Brothers Auto Salon on how to safely clean their vehicle after a day of off-roading. Plus, everyone was invited to take an educational drive around the course in the all-new Rivian R1S SUV and took home a commemorative Rivian T-shirt.

Thank you to our volunteers for making the day extra fun! And a big thank you to our friends at DirtFish and Rivian for supporting the event.
