Event Invites Families and Friends and Corporate
The Rotary Club of Tortola is bringing back its popular Fun Car Rally on Saturday, November 21, featuring a lively Pajama Party theme and cash prizes. Starting from Captain Mulligan's at Nanny Cay, the treasure-hunt-style road adventure welcomes families, friends, and corporate teams. Proceeds from the event will support Rotary community service projects across the British Virgin Islands.
A beloved British Virgin Islands tradition is making its return to the roads of Tortola this month. The Rotary Club of Tortola has announced the revival of its Fun Car Rally, scheduled to take place on Saturday, 21 November 2026. The event invites families, friends, and corporate groups to participate in a day filled with exploration, camaraderie, and friendly competition.
This year's rally features a playful Pajama Party theme. Participants are encouraged to sport their favourite sleepwear, decorate their vehicles creatively, and bring ample team spirit. The adventure kicks off at 10:00 a.m. at Captain Mulligan's in Nanny Cay, setting drivers and navigators on scenic routes across Tortola filled with entertaining clues, challenges, and opportunities to win.
First established in 1990, the Fun Car Rally has a long-standing history of uniting the local community through a treasure-hunt-style journey across the island. The club hopes the revival will bring together longtime participants who remember past rallies while introducing a new generation of islanders to the interactive road challenge.
Competitors will have the chance to vie for a total of US$1,750 in cash prizes. The first-place team will take home $1,000, while second and third place will receive $500 and $250, respectively. Additional prizes will be awarded for Best Costume and Best Vehicle Decoration to reward participants who go the extra mile with the theme.
Beyond the excitement on the road, the rally serves a vital charitable purpose. All proceeds generated from entry fees will directly benefit the Rotary Club of Tortola's ongoing community service projects, supporting impactful initiatives throughout the territory. Rotary Club of Tortola President Mitsy Ellis-Simpson noted that the rally represents more than just a competition, describing it as a valuable opportunity to bring people together, celebrate fellowship, and have fun while supporting meaningful causes across the territory.
Registration costs are set at $75 for vehicles with two people, $150 for vehicles carrying three to six participants, and $250 for corporate entries of up to six people. The event is supported by sponsors including International Motors, Fish Bay, Caribbean Insurers Ltd, and the Sugar Mill Hotel, Restaurant and Spa.
