Expedition: Baja Sur ~ 6/7 - 6/13
Expedition: Baja Sur is hands down our favorite runs of the whole year! If you've been wanting to get out on the trail with us in Mexico, this is the trip to jump on. It's going to be an awesome adventure-vacation as we weave our way down the peninsula to Loreto and back over 7 days.
We'll be putting down over 1,500 miles across the Baja desert. We get to hit dirt sections made famous by off-road legends like Bryce Menzies, Ivan Stewart, Rob MacCachren, and Robby Gordon. Our goal is keeping it fun, safe, and relaxed for everyone, but both you and your rig will definitely challenged.
We'll stop by cool historic missions and spend time taking in the views at awesome beaches. The scenery on this route is seriously incredible.
Monday 6/7 - USA to San Quintin - We will spend the majority of the day ripping down the Pacific coast as we head toward San Quintin. This leg of the run is epic since we're taking in ocean views almost all day long, topped off with an awesome 20-mile beach run.
To cap off our epic day, we will have an amazing meal at the Old Mill. Javier is the Chef/owner of the old mill and always prepares the most amazing meals.
Tuesday 6/8 - San Quintin to Bahia de Los Angeles. The days route will take us include cactus forests, oceanside trails, and deep silt beds.

Spots are limited due to the nature of the location and support that needs to be provided. Spaces will be reserved on a first-come basis, upon receipt of payment. Payment must be received to guarantee your spot on this upcoming run.
1 passenger is included in the cost. Additional passengers can be added for a cost of $100. (room allocated for your vehicle must be shared with all your passengers, as some places simply do not have enough rooms to accommodate any more people).

Event participation is 100% transferable without fees in the event you are unable to attend, and need to cancel, and do not wish to be penalized for the late cancellation. This arrangement would need to be worked out on a personal basis between yourself, and the participant taking your place. We can assist in finding a participant to take your place if we have a waiting list of participants, but ultimately the transfer of participation will be the responsibility of the owner if they cannot attend the event.
We are excited to bring the EXO runs and our participants to new locations...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.
Thank You, we look forward to seeing you all on the trail.
