Canaryball Rally is a one-of-a-kind driving challenge that brings together car enthusiasts, adventurers, and fundraisers for an unforgettable journey across breathtaking landscapes.

In 2025 the rally was sponsored by DMD Installations and Ovamill, and since its inception in 2019 the rally has seen teams travel thousands of miles through iconic destinations — from the sweeping roads of Europe to the historic NC500 in Scotland — creating memories that last a lifetime while supporting an incredible cause.

After three unforgettable editions, Canaryball Rally will return in 2027 — and now’s your chance to get involved early. With the route to be decided, we’re inviting you to register your interest today and help us shape the next epic adventure.

Whether you’re a seasoned driver or just love the thrill of the open road, this is your opportunity to be part of something extraordinary.
