View a video from our former champions discussing the Roadeo. It's time for Maryland's best drivers to get ready for the toughest driver skills challenge in the country. Our 2025 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 located at a restaurant TBD. 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 San Diego, California on May 31 - June 1. Registration Fees Registration is $150 for the first driver and $125 for each additional driver. Registration for each driver covers all the day's activities, including a light breakfast on the Roadeo site and the awards banquet lunch. Each driver and volunteer will receive one ticket to attend the awards banquet. A limited number of additional banquet tickets may be purchased during registration for an additional $20 each. Schedule - April 5th
