Organizers have taken the wraps off the course map for this year’s Baja 1000.

Over 300 entries, from 35 U.S. States and 20 countries are expected to compete in this year’s 51st anniversary celebration of the SCORE Baja 1000. Billed as the world’s longest continuously held desert race, this year’s SCORE Baja 1000 will be a loop race of 806.76 miles in the northern state of Mexico’s majestic Baja California peninsula. It will start for the 44th time and finish for the 25th time in Ensenada.

With a total time limit of 36 hours in the elapsed-time race, the motorcycle and quad classes will start at 4 a.m. (PT) on Friday, Nov. 16^th. The car, truck, and UTV classes will follow with their start 6 ½ hours later.

The course travels in a clockwise direction east to Ojos Negros before launching its weaving route around both the east and then the west side of the northern part of the peninsula. This loop race has all of the foreboding, unforgiving terrain that the northern state of Baja California peninsula has to offer.

Five checkpoints will be located at north of San Felipe (race mile 177.34), before Highway 1 on Chapala Road (rm 378.27), Highway 1 in San Quintin (rm 597.81), end of Vicente Guerrero Wash (rm 633.85) and in Santo Tomas before Highway 1 (rm 733.02).

Jumpstarting the festivities for the Baja 1000 race will be the massive SEMA SCORE Baja 1000 Experience at the Las Vegas Convention Center from Oct. 29 – Nov. 2. Plus, the special qualifying event for SCORE Trophy Trucks and SCORE TT Legend vehicles will be happening again this year as well. With both events presented by BFGoodrich Tires, qualifying will be held at the Off-Road Track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway (5:30 p.m. PT, Tuesday, Oct. 30).

Race fans, get ready for an awesome event – Nov 14^th– 18^th in Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico.
