Map Files and Pre-Running – All Races

Pre-running commences at 12 PM on Thursday, January 29. You must have signed in at the Welcome Gate to obtain your course GPX file and pre-running flag from PCI Race Radios, located inside the Hammertown Vendor Area. You MUST have this flag on your vehicle when you are pre-running – this is essential when travelling on the Marine Corps Base.

Pre-running of the desert section, from 12 PM Thursday, January 29, to 6 pm Friday, January 29, will be in a clockwise direction only. This means if you are a rock race participant, you will need to pre-run backwards for these days. You can pre-run the rock sections of Lap 2 in the correct direction.

All sections of Lap 1 will be CLOSED for pre-running on Saturday, February 1, and Sunday, February 2, as the Toyo Tires Desert Challenge will be utilising this course. Rock sections outside of the footprint of the lap 1 race course can be run at this time.

Pre-running will open again at 7 AM Monday, February 2, until 6 PM Wednesday, February 4 in a counterclockwise direction. Caution: there will be race staff on course re-marking the track. Drive safely.

Pre-running is not pre-racing. This is not a closed course. You can expect large numbers of the public to be recreating, and you must drive with care and caution. Please be safe. Please run a flag.
