Adventure: Baja
9/11 - 9/15
EXO’s new Adventure series offers a more laid-back alternative to our signature high-octane Expedition series Raptor runs. These excursions are ideally suited for those new to Baja, Bronco owners, as well Raptor owners seeking a mellower pace.
The pace will be similar to our Siesta, Bronco, or Overland Baja runs. Not slow by any means, but more relaxed than our Expedition series Raptor runs.
Our inaugural Adventure: Baja run will take us nearly halfway down the Baja peninsula. We will cover some of our favorite trails in Baja.
Adventure: Baja will begin in Friday September 11th and end Tuesday September 15th.

We are excited to bring the EXO runs and it’s participants to new locations, and guarantee this will be the run of a lifetime for many participants. Our goal is to provide a safe and fun experience for all, helping each participant successfully complete the adventure, building new experience and creating new friendships. This is NOT a race, but an adrenaline-filled experience that will give each driver a taste of the Baja peninsula in the safest way possible.
As mentioned before, this run will be booked on a FIRST COME-FIRST SERVE basis. We will be fair and accept the timeliest entries first.
