Online Registration for the 2026 NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000 Opens at Noon on January 6th
Join us at 12 pm Pacific time on Tuesday, January 6th at www.norra.com when registration opens for the 2026 NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000. Start the year off right by making plans to participate in the greatest Baja racing adventure, NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000. The Mexican 1000 is the original Baja race that travels the full length of the peninsula every year. NORRA created off road racing in Baja back in 1967 and continues that legacy today. The event takes place Thursday, April 30th through Friday, May 8th. The Rally format race travels south from the starting line in Ensenada with an overnight stay in a new town each night along the way. Those new to NORRA can go anytime to www.norra.com and create a team profile. A complete guide is located here: norra.com/registration_guide. NORRA has unprecedented support available for our competitors. We even have installment plans for entry fees. You can spread it out for several months. If you have any questions about signing up there will be an online, interactive meeting held at www.norra.com on December 16th at 6:00pm Pacific time. Those NORRA racing veterans who already have a profile can update their team profile for 2026 any time.
Mark these important dates on your calendars today! You don’t want to miss out on the intense racing and incredible Baja adventures. NORRA offers race routes that other sanctioning bodies just can’t deliver. Every year the courses are unique with varied terrain and incredible scenery. Our rally racing format is challenging, but also forgiving. It’s not an all or nothing, one shot, torture test. Events offer multiple days of fierce, high speed competition that allow teams to fully experience everything Baja has to offer.
In addition to the bragging rights, prestigious awards, trophies and cash prizes for some classes are presented. NORRA classifies vehicles according to the different eras of off road racing, so there’s a class for everyone. You will be competing against vehicles that are equal to yours. NORRA has classes for cars, trucks, UTV’s and motorcycles of all types. If you’re not a racer, NORRA has the Meyers Manx Safari Expedition that is unique to NORRA. Open to street legal vehicles capable of travelling off road, it is a guided tour of Baja that puts you right in the mix of the NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000 or the NORRA 500.
After experiencing NORRA just once, you too will be hooked. Everything you need to know about the NORRA 500 and NORRA’s Baja Mexican 1000 can be found at norra.com. Go to the site and find out for yourself why NORRA has exploded in popularity. You can feel the same excitement those pioneering thrill seekers sought in 1967 when you join NORRA in Baja. Don’t miss out on NORRA’s unique combination of incredible adventure and fierce competition.
