RISE OF NUKETOWN
2026 EVENT SCHEDULE

May 15-17

Nuketown has fallen under the control of a rogue Russian faction that has fortified the town and begun dominating the surrounding wasteland.

Your team’s mission is to enter the region, complete strategic objectives across the wasteland, and shift the balance of power.

Mission success depends on your vigilance and strategic finesse. Good luck, operative.

AIRSOFT GAMEPLAY OVERVIEW As part of the Smugglers Runs experience, certain missions may include controlled airsoft gameplay elements to simulate tactical encounters between factions within the world of Nuketown. Airsoft engagements are designed to enhance immersion and provide participants with the feeling of operating within a live wasteland conflict. These encounters may involve defending positions, escorting convoys, or attempting to infiltrate Russian-controlled areas. Participation in airsoft missions is completely optional, and many missions throughout the event focus on strategy, puzzles, trading, and story-driven challenges rather than combat. ⸻ Safety First All airsoft gameplay is conducted under strict safety guidelines: • Protective eye protection is required • Engagement areas are clearly designated • Safety briefings are provided before participation • Trained staff supervise all airsoft activities Our goal is to create an exciting and immersive experience while maintaining a safe and controlled environment for all participants. ⸻ Choose Your Play Style Whether you prefer tactical encounters, strategic missions, exploration, or story-driven gameplay, Smugglers Runs offers multiple ways to experience the event. Airsoft is simply one optional element that helps bring the battle for Nuketown to life.

OFF-ROAD EXPEDITION OVERVIEW YOU DO NOT NEED AN OFF ROAD VEHICLE TO ATTEND The Smugglers Runs experience is built around a off-road expedition through rugged desert terrain surrounding the occupied outpost of Nuketown. Teams will navigate a network of trails, desert roads, and remote locations while completing missions that influence the unfolding story of the event. Along the way, participants will travel between checkpoints, transport resources, intercept communications, and explore hidden areas of the wasteland. The off-road component allows teams to experience the adventure of the terrain while immersing themselves in the storyline of the struggle for control of Nuketown. ⸻ Trail Experience Participants will travel in their own off-road capable vehicles as part of a coordinated expedition through the surrounding desert. The route may include: • scenic desert trails • rocky terrain and NON technical sections • remote checkpoints and mission sites • navigation challenges • convoy-style team travel Every trail leads to new encounters, characters, and opportunities to impact the larger story. ⸻ Safety and Support Safety is a core priority throughout the expedition. • All routes are pre-scouted for fun and enjoyable not technical and stressful. • Recovery and support teams are present throughout the event • Trail leaders provide navigation and pacing • Drivers’ meetings and safety briefings are conducted before departure Participants should ensure their vehicles are properly prepared for off-road travel and suitable for desert conditions. Stock Jeeps can easily complete the entire event off roading ⸻ Adventure Beyond the Trail While the off-road journey is central to the experience, it is only one part of the larger adventure. As teams travel across the landscape, they will encounter missions, puzzles, characters, and challenges that shape the battle for Nuketown. The trails connect the story. And every mile brings your team closer to deciding who controls the wasteland.
