When it comes to transforming raw desert into an inviting, one-of-a-kind gathering space, Stephanie Prater is the mastermind. Part artist, part event producer, and fully unstoppable, she’s been shaping the soul of every Rebelle basecamp since year one.
A food truck stuck for hours. A mid-course engine swap. Tents launched into orbit. We pulled together ten rally moments that pushed limits, rewrote the script, and still have the team shaking their heads (and sometimes laughing).
Since 2016, Daniel Mayfield has been behind some of the most striking and unforgettable visuals of the Rebelle Rally—often captured from hundreds of feet above. A creative powerhouse, Daniel wears a lot of hats: drone pilot, editor, production strategist, and the guy you definitely want around when gear gets complicated in the middle of nowhere.
To kick off our Top Ten series, we figured—who better to start with than Chrissie Beavis? Chrissie’s been with the Rebelle since the very beginning. She’s our Head Scoring Judge, but more than that, she’s seen it all: the wins, the wipeouts, the “what were we thinking?” moments. Her advice isn’t sugarcoated or overly complicated—it’s the kind of stuff you wish someone had told you before your first rally.
Andrea has been with us since the very beginning. If you’re familiar with the Rebelle, you’re undoubtedly familiar with Andrea. From our beginnings with just 36 teams in Year One to consistently selling out and having a waitlist, Andrea has played a pivotal role in our journey.
From Rebelle Founder & Director Emily Miller – Feeling lost can be terrifying. But the typical response and spiral—panic, freezing up, or blaming—are NOT inevitable.
We’re kicking off our first Behind the Brand of 2025 with Amanda Kachar, Director of Industrial Design at Milwaukee Tool—and her journey is anything but ordinary. Amanda opens up about what drew her to tool design: solving real-world problems and creating solutions that professionals trust every day.
As the 9th edition of the Rebelle Rally came to a close this past Saturday, competitors and partners celebrated with a day of Tread Lightly! Trail Cleanup, massages, and the annual Busby Games. They capped off the evening with Rebellation gala and awards ceremony at the final basecamp in Johnson Valley.
For the final day of competition, DAY 7 was split between two very distinctive sets of checkpoints, with the first 12 checkpoints of the day being in the Glamis Dunes and on route Enduro to Johnson Valley. Just because the finish line wasn’t in the Imperial Dunes this year didn’t mean the final route wasn’t challenging.
Rebelle Rally competitors are pushing toward the finish line. DAY 6, presented by TOTAL CHAOS Fabrication, is the first of two days in Glamis spent chasing checkpoints among the giant dunes. Teams departed 30 minutes early this morning to transit 290 kilometers from their final basecamp down to their last marathon leg, where their self-camp is located for the evening.
