Dos Mares 500
Welcome to the independent home of the most historic race in southern Baja California Off-Road Racing, taking place at 30. April, 1.-2. May 2010 in the greater areas of La Paz. As part of the celebrations of the founding of the Spanish pueblo that evolved into La Paz in 2008 Baja Sur off-road racing broke all records with that desert race! Over 210 teams fought over racing the challenging desert between the Gulf of California / Mar de Cortez and the Pacific Ocean site of the southern Baja Peninsula. 2009 was a rather unfortunate year with the economic crisis looming and the restrictions by the federal government in regards of the swine flu and related to that cancellation of public events as preventive measure which reflected also on the Dos Mares race. One can expect that 2010 this race will bloom back to his fullest!
For many years the Federacion Mexicana de Automovillismo Deportivo and the Baja California Sur Offroad Association have approved of this race. As well the State of Baja California South has promoted this race and its positive effects for sports and tourism for the state. However, there been some changes in race promoters etc. and we will inquire on that situation and publish race bulletin updates as soon as we get them.
VERY IMPORTANT – there was some kind of a corporation with a questionable, individual several years back. This questionable person is still promoting this race under another name as of today. Please be aware and contact the promoter before sending any funds!! Our inquiries so far indicate that this person is in NO way connected to the race. We will investigate further and post information at “The Race” section of this website. View this link for any further information meanwhile. A Google Search like this will also help to make you understand our “advise”.
