Registration

Registration is handled through the COG website's online registration system using the links to the left. The registration fee covers the main banquet dinner, planned social activities, swag bag, and door prizes. The registration fee is also used toward the expenses associated with a large rally: meeting rooms, insurance, AMA Sanction fee, signage, decorations, and printed material such as your name tag.

Register early for the best rate! Earliest registrants (registration completed on or before February 28) will be entered into a drawing held at the rally for a special prize worth hundreds of dollars as well as getting a $5 discount on the standard registration fees. Wait until the last minute (on or after May 4) and you'll have to pay the late registration fee.

Current COG members and associates pay member rates. Spouses can be added as an associate member through the Renew link at the top of any page on the www.concours.org website. Select "change/upgrade membership plan" to add an associate to your membership.

Non-members pay the non-member rate. This includes forum-only subscribers. Now would be a great time for you to upgrade to full COG membership and receive all of the member benefits. The non-member rate also applies to COG Industry Vendors.

Merchandise

All merchandise for the 2026 Mountains, Rivers, & Twisties rally, including the official rally shirt,  will be sold through a pop-up website managed by our merchandise vendor. Order early so you will receive yours before the National. When the site opens, a link will be included in the Rally pages on www.concours.org. No rally-specific merchandise will be available at Rally Central.

Waiver and Safety

The 2026 COG National Rally is an AMA Sanctioned event and will operate under the rules and guidelines established by the AMA. All participants will be required to sign a waiver at registration. A parent or guardian must sign for participants under the age of 18.

Participants are expected to follow all safety guidelines established for the rally. Motorcycle riding is a sport with inherent risks, and your best judgement should be used at all times. Be adults and use common sense, y'all.

COG 2026 National Rally Rules

1. The implementation of a buddy system is mandatory. You must ride with at least one other person. No one rides alone.
2. If you leave the group or ride off on your own, you are leaving at your own risk and no longer considered part of the event.
3. You must plan a rest stop(s) during your route to prevent rider fatigue.
   Depending on conditions, a stop from 75–150 miles is recommended. It is good practice to check with the group to make sure everyone is alert and feeling good along the way.
   A rest stop would include stops for fuel and meals. Remember to hydrate and enjoy a snack while you stretch your legs.
4. Each group should designate a ride leader and tail sweeper to make sure everyone is safe and to call for emergency help in case of an incident. No one gets left behind.
5. In case of an incident that requires medical attention, first call 911 and then call the event staff to report on the situation (the emergency number for the event staff will be given out at registration and posted on the rally page at the concours.org website). Someone in the group should follow the victim to the medical center and maintain communication with event staff.
6. Consuming alcohol or any substance that would impair your ability to operate your vehicle in a safe manner during your ride is strictly prohibited.
7. Swimming in the lake across the road or entering the stream is not permitted and is not part of the event.
