 Howdy Partners! The 2026 Roadeo is coming your way on Saturday, March 28! It's time for Maryland's best drivers to get ready for the toughest driver skills challenge in the country. Our 2026 Roadeo returns to MTA's Dorsey MARC Station located at Dorsey Station Dr in Elkridge, MD 21076; just off Route 100. The competition will begin at 9 AM, end around Noon, and will be followed by a banquet lunch. We will honor our competitors and give our winners a rousing send-off to the CTAA National Roadeo. Drivers will compete in three separate areas: a driving skills challenge in the form of an obstacle course containing 10 stations, a wheelchair securement test, and a pre-trip inspection. The top three scorers will be given scholarships to attend and compete against the best in the country at the CTAA Roadeo in Omaha, Nebraska on May 8-9. Click here to register as a driver, volunteer, or sponsor! Roadeo Score sheets are available here. View the 2026 Participant Guide Here. Registration Fees
