Expedition: Baja - 8/20 - 8/24

Here we are again, on the verge of another 5 day Mexico adventure… we can’t wait to share what many of us feel is the pinnacle of off-road experiences.  Our focus for this event is to provide each participant the experience of a lifetime. This is much more than just plotting a course and chasing dust…  We want our participants to truly soak in the local flavor, and let each participant discover for themselves the bit of Baja magic that can only be experienced… not simply described.  Our focus aims on ensuring a safe, relaxing, and fun run for all participants.  But make no mistake, both you and your truck will be challenged on some of the toughest off-road terrain in the world, which we will guide you through in the safest manner possibly while still allowing you to cut loose and experience true off-road freedom.

 

Expedition: Baja will begin in Thursday 8/20 and end Monday 8/24 where we will cross back. We have planned our route to beat the heat...we will be staying on the Pacific side of the Baja Peninsula where temps stay much lower. Temps will be in the 70's and 80's.

There are only 14 spots available for this run, 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. Additional passengers can be added for a cost of $200. (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).  


 

Cancellation Policy:

 

*Should the event have to be rescheduled due to Covid19 refunds will be offered minus Paypal fees. (Paypal charges a 3% fee that they don't return even if a refund is issued)

Your $500 deposit is fully refundable for the first 5 days after payment is received. There will be no refunds given after this initial period, including the final payment of $1700.

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 it’s 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.
