RIDE DETAILS
This is a non-competitive poker run style event. This is not a race!
There are two courses to choose from or you can do both.
-
The short course is 30 miles for beginner dirtbikers and ATVs limited to 50" or less. Sorry there are NO UTVs or side by sides allowed due to insurance policy requirements. Ride at your own pace.
- The long course is an additional 40 miles. You will refuel after the short course at the parking lot if you need to.
The course is marked similar to that of a typical desert race. Ribbon will be placed as often as possible. Turns will be marked with arrows and cautions will be marked with blue exclamation marks. Please be on the lookout for markings so you don't get lost.
There will be sweep riders at the end of the course, so if you're tired and can't finish, they will help you along.

DIRECTIONS
The Owyhee Front is a large area located between Melba Junction and Oreana on Highway 78, about 45 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho.
From Interstate 84, take the Karcher Road Exit #33 to Highway 55 and follow Highway 55 south for 18 miles to Marsing, Idaho. In Marsing, turn left onto Highway 78 and continue for about 25 miles to the Rabbit Creek Trailhead.
Or, take the Franklin Blvd Exit #36, turn left on Franklin Blvd, turn right on 11th Ave N towards downtown Nampa, use the middle lane to turn left onto 3rd Street, use the right two lanes to turn right onto 12th Ave S/Highway 45. Continue on highway 45 for 17 miles, pass Walters Ferry and take a slight left to merge onto highway 78. Rabbit Creek Trailhead will be on your right.
CAMPING
Primitive Camping is available at Rabbit Creek. First come first served.
Loading ramps, staging areas and restrooms are available. Additional porta-potties will be provided. There is spotty cell service. Use satellite phones for emergencies.
10:00 pm to 8:00 am (except for Saturday morning as Volunteers will begin event setup as early as 5:00 am).
Please follow the Leave no trace principles HERE.
VOLUNTEERS
Volunteers are desperately needed and greatly appreciated! Here are just a few examples of the tasks you can help with.
Event setup will begin at 6:00 am such as setting up tents, tables, and chairs. Starting at 7:00 am, the event team will be asked to begin by getting signatures from all people attending the event.
Another group of volunteers will stage themselves at various locations on the ride course to check in riders throughout the day and make sure riders cross roads safely. There will also be a team of experienced riders who will need to ride both courses to verify that all riders have completed the course.
Be prepared to stick around after the raffle to help with tearing down the tents, folding tables and chairs, and loading them all into trucks.
