Midwest Discovery Route

April 17-18, 2026

The Midwest Discovery Route is your gateway to adventure, made possible by Midland Radio. This scenic, backroad journey is designed for overlanders and outdoor enthusiasts, offering approximately 300 miles of exploration and discovery. Whether you choose to embark from Topeka, KS; Cape Girardeau, MO; Columbia, MO; or Ft. Smith, AR, the route is filled with breathtaking views, historic landmarks, and creek crossings. It’s not a race, but a challenge of your navigation and teamwork skills, using roadbooks and maps to guide your way. And for 2026, we’re offering a complete digital bundle featuring all four new MDR routes + all four from 2025 for only $18.00 so you can explore the entire collection of Midwest Discovery Routes at your own pace.
