SAVE THE DATE: MINI TAKES THE STATES 2018
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – September 5, 2017- 
MINI USA announced today what the MINI community has been anticipating for more than a year, MINI TAKES THE STATES 2018 (MTTS) will indeed happen next summer, beginning July 14, and ending on July 22. Next year’s rally will be the seventh MINI TAKES THE STATES adventure for MINI owners and enthusiasts, with previous rallies taking place every other summer since 2006. The route for MTTS 2018 will be announced at a later date.
“At the end of MINI TAKES THE STATES 2016 I stood at the Thermal Club in front of thousands of MINI owners and promised that we would rally again in 2018,” said Thomas Felbermair, Vice President, MINI Americas Region. “Today, together with the MINI USA team, we are delivering on that promise and it is going to be an epic adventure.”
In 2016, MINI owners rallied with a purpose, making an epic 14-day, 4,397 mile adventure that started at Atlanta Motor Speedway on July 9 and ending at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, Calif., all in the name of raising money to #DefyHunger with charity partner Feeding America. By the time the rally had come to a close at the Thermal Club, the group had raised enough money to provide more than one million meals to help people facing hunger though their fundraising efforts, easily topping the initial goal of 800,000 meals. A charity partner for MTTS 2018 will be also be announced at a later date.
MINI TAKES THE STATES 2016 travelled through two national parks and eight race tracks and attracted a record 4,000 plus MINI owners over the two weeks, with more than 900 owners going “all the way”. At times the group swelled to more than 1,500 owners and 700 MINI vehicles of all shapes, colors and sizes.

MINI USA ANNOUNCES OFFICIAL ROUTE FOR MINI TAKES THE STATES 2018
   Woodcliff Lake, NJ – January 5, 2018 – 
MINI USA   today announced the official route for 
MINI TAKES THE STATES   (MTTS) 2018. The legendary rally for MINI owners, which runs from July   14 – 22, will start from two separate locations on opposite sides of   the country and meet in the middle for a weekend celebration of   everything MINI. The starting cities will be Orlando, Fla., and   Portland, Ore. The final destination is 
Keystone Resort in   Keystone, Colo., approximately 75 miles west of downtown Denver. Once   arriving at Keystone, MINI owners from both routes will have the   weekend to trade stories, share their experiences, show off their   MINI, explore the area on curated mountain drives, support our charity   partner and enjoy fun activities planned by the MINI USA team.
  
 There have been six epic road trips starting with the inaugural rally   in 2006.  The seventh biennial MTTS rally will travel through   America’s scenic backroads and byways, offering MINI owners the   ultimate opportunity to enjoy the legendary go-kart handling with   thousands of likeminded MINI owners while taking in some of the best   scenery our country has to offer. In true MINI TAKES THE STATES   fashion, these routes will not take a direct path but rather focus on   state and county roads as they make their way across the country.
 “MINI TAKES THE STATES is the ultimate road trip and we’re excited to   share this adventure with MINI owners from all over the U.S.,” said   Thomas Felbermair, Vice President MINI Americas Region. “This will be   my second MTTS adventure and although I can only be on one route I am   looking forward to meeting up with the rest of the MINI community when   we gather to celebrate our MTTS experience in Keystone.”
  
 MINI TAKES THE STATES 2018’s eastern route will leave Orlando, making   stops along the Gulf Coast in Tallahassee, Fla., and New Orleans, La.,   before heading north to Little Rock, Ark., and back south to Dallas,   Texas. From there the group rallying in the east will head north to   Oklahoma City, Okla., Dodge City, Kan., before arriving at the final   destination Keystone Resort.
  
 The western route will leave from Portland heading south to Ashland,   Ore., just south of Medford. From there, the group of MINIs on the   western leg will travel south making stops in Sacramento and Los   Angeles, Calif., before heading west to Flagstaff, Ariz., and Santa   Fe, N.M. The group will then travel north to Durango, Colo., before   making the last leg of the journey to Keystone Resort.
  
 In 2016, MINI owners rallied with a purpose, making an epic 14-day,   4,397 mile adventure that started at 
Atlanta Motor   Speedway on July 9 and ended at
