New Zealand off-road star Rachael Archer has announced via social media that her time racing in the United States has come to a close, as she prepares to return home. Archer leaves behind an extraordinary legacy, having captured three WCX Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) titles, one NEPG National Enduro Championship, and one Sprint Enduro Championship. Her achievements have undeniably elevated the standard of women’s off-road racing in North America.
Despite the move, Archer clarified that this is not a retirement announcement. She fully intends to continue competing, shifting her focus to events in Australia, where racing is both highly competitive and geographically closer to home in offroad and motocross. She also plans to take part in future ISDE competitions.
In her announcement, Archer also shared exciting personal news—she is expecting her first child with her fiancé, Jack, in 2026.
We wish Rachael all the best as she begins this new chapter, both in racing and in life.
