The National Rocketry Competition to Debut August 5th—Competition for All!

The NAR has retooled the U.S. Model Rocket Sporting Code (aka the Sporting Code) so that NAR competition will be significantly more accessible to the average member. The new competition rulebook- SportingCode-2017, details a new approach to competition known as the National Rocketry Competition or NRC.  The NRC emphasizes eight core events powered with low cost motors.

One important element of the NRC is that each contest year, six events are chosen and these events are announced at the start of a new contest year, July 1. Competition flyers can begin flying the events as part of the NRC the day after NARAM ends, which is August 5th this year.

Go to our contest flying pages for lots of resources. Check out the NAR’s online contest calendar to find a rocket competition near you.

Competition Rocketry is Fun! Competition Rocketry is for everyone! Fly the National Rocketry Competition!
