After careful consideration and exploring every possible option, we regret to share that the 2025 Moto ADV Rally has been canceled. Unfortunately, we were unable to secure the insurance coverage necessary to hold the event safely and responsibly.

This was an incredibly difficult decision, and we understand how disappointing this news is. Our entire team feels the same—but the safety of our riders and the integrity of our event must always come first.

Testimonials

Hi Erich, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed the rally. It was VERY well run with some good riding and good connections with other people! Usually I am not a fan of vendors, but these added value without any pressure to spend big money on the spot, worked well!I really like the system with the map & clue book to get us out riding. I visited tons of new places. Stagecoach Trails might be the nicest desert campground I have ever been to! Perfect spot for this event….

Thanks again, looking forward to next year!
