What Is the Bean Pot Rally?

The Bean Pot Rally is an informal, community-driven gathering of Land Rover owners and enthusiasts from across New England. Held at the Sebasticook Millennium Green in Unity, Maine — the same stunning property that hosts the annual Winter Romp — the Bean Pot Rally offers a full weekend of guided trail rides, camaraderie, and a proper Maine bean pot supper.

Whether you drive a Series I, a classic Range Rover, or a brand-new Defender, you're welcome here. Trails are rated by difficulty so there's something for every skill level and every truck. Novice? No problem — experienced drivers are happy to guide you down the trail. The event is non-competitive and generally non-damaging, though off-roading always carries risk — you're responsible for your rig.

Organized by MARS, DELRC, Connecticut Rovers, and NELRC, with support from Land Rover clubs and ANARC. A portion of proceeds will be donated to a local charity.

Guided Trail Rides

Green, Blue, and Black rated trails through woodland, ridgelines, and water crossings. All pre-run with experienced trail leaders.

Bean Pot Supper

The signature event — traditional slow-baked Maine beans, brown bread, and red snapper hot dogs. Saturday evening under the pines.

Camping On-Site

Primitive camping in the powerline corridor and fields. RVs welcome near the barn. Nearby campgrounds and hotels too.

Recovery Demos

Recovery and first-aid demonstrations. Learn proper technique from the best in the field.

Movie Night

Friday evening movie streamed on the Green — plus an optional night trail ride for the adventurous.

Vendors & Raffle

Vendors and specialists on display. Raffle prizes, giveaways, and a community bonfire.

Sebasticook Millennium Green

The Sebasticook Millennium Green is a private off-road property in Unity, Maine, featuring miles of woodland trails, open fields, ridgelines, and water crossings. The property has hosted the Winter Romp for years and offers terrain for every skill level — from gently rolling forest roads to rocky, technical climbs.

Amenities include a porta-potties, wash basins, staging areas, and camping in the designated areas and surrounding fields. RVs welcome near the barn.

Camping

Primitive camping on-site at the powerline and staging area. RVs can park near the barn with running water. Porta-potties will be available. Greenwood Acres, a nearby campground, offers additional tent camping.

Hotel

The Waterville Grand Hotel (Best Western Plus) in Waterville is about 15 minutes away and has a block of rooms reserved for the event. Details to follow.

Community First

A portion of the proceeds from the Bean Pot Rally will be donated to local charities. We believe in giving back to the communities and land that make events like this possible.
