Off-Road Event List
I have compiled a list of off-road events scheduled for the next 3 or 4 months. These are ones I am aware of or have come across my desk recently. I have included some of the Badlands Of-Road events as well. You will need to contact the host organization directly to sign up and to verify that the event has not been cancelled or the date changed.

January 13-15 Road Runner Rendezvous
Hosted by Badlands Off-Road Adventures http://www.4x4training.com/
This is a weekend of wheeling in the mud hills, notches, soft sand, steep hills, and tight canyons. It will test your skill, your vehicle, and your resolve. The difficulty will range from 3.5 to 3.5+. You are guaranteed to get “cross axled”. There is some risk of damage to your vehicle. This is primitive camping with a twist -- all meals are catered! Sign up, buy beer, throw your camping equipment in the rig and head for the desert as soon as you can on Friday. Near Salton Sea, CA.
