Wialon Challenge leaderboard: Meet the front-runners!
These Wialon partners are setting the pace in the Challenge Dakar 2026 — see how many points they’ve earned and who’s leading the way. Join the race and climb the leaderboard yourself! 🏁
*For every 50 points you earn, you’ll get a ticket. At the final draw, we’ll randomly pick 3 winning tickets — and those partners will become part of the desert crew. The more tickets you collect, the higher your chances!
Wialon Challenge Dakar 2026 What to expect
In January 2026, a select group from the Wialon partner community will embark on a once-in-a-lifetime adventure along the route of the legendary Dakar Rally. This is not a luxury tour through the dunes, but a true test of skill, endurance, and teamwork — a survival challenge in the unforgiving landscapes of Saudi Arabia.
I have no doubt that the Wialon community can rise to any challenge. In 2023, we climbed an active volcano in Indonesia to prove our strength, unity, and determination. In 2024, we celebrated our professional milestones by running over 4,000 kilometers together. Now, an even greater test lies ahead — five thrilling days in the sands of Saudi Arabia. A truly epic adventure awaits, one that will push us further than ever before.

Before you start
Here are the most important things to know before you start completing activities:
The contest runs from April 24 to September 30, 2025. During this period, you can complete activities and collect points.
Any number of representatives from a Wialon partner company can participate. You can even team up with your colleagues to complete activities and earn more points together!
Make sure you submit all your completed activities on challenge.wialon.com. Don't worry about the Wialon community chats — we’ve got those covered for you! For everything else, it’s up to you to track and submit your awesomeness. Keep those points coming!
For every 50 points earned, the participant receives a ticket. Each ticket is a chance to win a spot in the Challenge. There’s no limit to how many tickets you can earn.
All the tickets will be entered into the final draw, which will take place during the Wialon community reunion in Dubai on October 12, 2025. That’s when we’ll find out who the 3 lucky winners are, and who will join us at the Wialon Challenge Dakar 2026!
Our team will race through the desert in Saudi Arabia in January 2026. More details about the starting point and full route will be available at a later date. The complete race route is expected to be announced in autumn 2025.
No, we won’t be taking part in the main race. Instead, we’ll be on our own exciting journey, following the rally route, witnessing the race from up close, and crossing paths with motorsport stars during rest stops or between stages.
This activity is exclusive to Wialon partners. The team will include 12 members of the Wialon community — 9 spots are reserved for selected partners with Gold status, and 3 spots are available to all partners.
3 of the 12 spots are open to any Wialon partner who completes special activities and earns enough points. For every 50 points you earn, you’ll receive a ticket that can participate in the final draw of the spots. You can check out the full list of activities and their point values here. And if you're a Gold partner, you're welcome to join the contest too — it’s a great way to increase your chances.
Since the winners will be chosen via a random draw at the end of the contest, there is no set number of tickets that guarantees a spot.
But the more activities you complete and the more tickets you earn, the better your chances of being selected for the Wialon Challenge Dakar 2026. There’s no limit to how many tickets you can collect.
All tickets earned by participants will be entered into a random draw. The draw will take place during the Wialon community reunion in Dubai on October 12, 2025. On this day, the three lucky winners will be announced and awarded their spots in the Wialon Challenge Dakar 2026.
That’s great! Before you start, make sure to read the Terms and Conditions of the contest. Then, create an account on challenge.wialon.com and complete your registration. After that, start participating in activities and collecting points. You’ll be able to submit and track your completed activities directly through your personal account on the website.
You can track your progress on the leaderboard on challenge.wialon.com. It will be updated regularly, so you’ll always know where you stand. We will answer more questions and announce additional details soon.
