The Baja 1000 is one of the oldest and a well known desert race, and it remains as an appealing accomplishment to a racer. Since 1967, the race has been run over the mysterious Baja California peninsula every year except 1974 when the international fuel crisis forced a cancellation. This year’s race will start for the 37th time and finish for the 21st time in Ensenada. Read the rest of this entry »

ATTENTION!! This map is NOT made from a relevant GPS file but hand-drawn from a map-overlay as you find here. This Baja race map is only for viewing giving rough reference points. DO NOT use this map for pre-running or use the map data to program you GPS. There is a fat chance that you will run over a cliff or be screwed otherwise (without being kissed up front) if you do so….
SCORE International has a preliminary course map for the 2010 peninsula run released.(22nd September 2010) You can find the image of the race course map here. We will wait until a version with GPS file is made available by SCORE Intl. to make a course map that reflects the exact race-course.
