About Desert Run
Desert Run is a 4-wheel drive course between 20-30 miles long with 5 game playing stations along the way. You’ll encounter some rocks, sandy washes, hills and some extreme areas for the hardcore enthusiast. If you don’t feel comfortable with an obstacle, we’ll direct you to the easy way around. Our event is held at Means Dry Lake in Johnson Valley, CA. Our event will have plenty of family fun and a course sure to please everyone. Last year, we gave away over $10,000 in prizes!
The actual "Run" this year is on Saturday, October 5th, but MBSAR members will be preparing weeks in advance for this popular event. We have the whole weekend planned for your enjoyment!
This is our 44th year and it looks to be the best "Run" ever!
This a family event and not a race and all types of 4-wheel drive vehicles / ATV's / UTV's / Dirt Bikes / "Buggies" & "Rat Rods" are encouraged to show up and participate. The event takes place on and around the famous Means Dry Lake off Hwy 247 in the BLM Johnson Valley OHV Area. Just think "King of the Hammers" but on a small, friendly & local level. So pack up for an off-road camping weekend and join in the fun!
