2025 Off-Road Racing Preview

What’s Coming Up in SCORE, BITD, and King of the Hammers

Off-road racing in 2025 is already heating up. From the high-speed stretches of the Vegas to Reno course to the brutal rock crawls of King of the Hammers, this year’s race calendar is packed with action for off-road enthusiasts.

Whether you’re tuning your build or planning to spectate, ADV Fiberglass is here to share what’s coming up in the off-roading world:

One of the most iconic off-road races in the world. Known for technical routes, rocky trails, and elevation shifts, the Baja 500 is a must-watch event with fierce competition and punishing conditions.

Baja 400

A newer addition to the SCORE lineup, the Baja 400 is a shorter but equally demanding race that sets the starting order for the legendary Baja 1000.
