Rough, Rugged & Action-Packed
Best In The Desert competitors experience every type of terrain the land offers, including vast tracts of desolate desert, beautiful mountainous regions, and the mysteries of the Old West and Nevada’s historic gold mining towns. The terrain is tough, the events are always action-packed, and the sport requires serious endurance. However, the experience is as rewarding as it gets.
Minimizing our Impact
Our founder Casey Folks was a lifelong advocate for the sport who believed off-roaders should treat the mountains and desert they race on with the utmost respect and with an eye toward future generations. We do everything we can to mitigate our footprint, give back to local communities, and ensure the wild stays, well, wild.
