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.
