As more Vendors join the lineup for this year’s Adventure Rally, they will be added to the event website, so check back often to see the continually growing list of companies.

Also this year, the Kurt Caselli Foundation will be the beneficiary of the proceeds from the annual Adventure Rally Raffle. The focus of the foundation is the safety of riders and racers in off-road motorcycling. The foundation has a three-part mission that encompasses safety precautions for riders before, during and after a racing career and has raised $1.6 million dollars since the foundation was created.

The Adventure Rally & Camp is a three-day challenge for riders of any skill level and their bikes. During the day, riders take part in self-navigated scenic trail rides and look for elusive checkpoints laid out by the Adventure Rally & Camp staff. At night, competitors build camaraderie, along with industry guests, often around a campfire with movies, music and cold beverages.

Teams will take part in challenges on the trails as well in special tests during the Adventure Rally & Camp. The special tests are conducted at the Stagecoach Trails Base Camp and are designed to test riders overall adventure skills.
