SONORA RALLY is more than just a race; it’s a journey — a challenge born from a passion for adventure and a deep respect for the legends of Rally Raids. For over 10 years, The Sonora Rally has been a bridge between the dreams of North American racers and the global Dakar stage.
Organically growing into the premier navigation rally in North America, it has become a proving ground, carved into the magnificent and unforgiving landscapes of the Sonoran Desert, designed to forge skill, determination, and camaraderie. For professionals and amateurs alike, Sonora Rally is the place to start the dream, continue to train or experience the adventure of a lifetime.
The Road to Dakar prize gives the winner of the SSV category a FREE ENTRY into Dakar 2027 and for the motorcycle entries, SR 2026 is an immediate “qualifying rally” and worth 6 points toward acceptance into Dakar 2027.
At the choice of the FIA / FIM and ASO (Dakar Rally), Sonora Rally was the only rally in North America, to be invited to and participate in the World RallyRaid Championship, (W2RC 2023).
