Red Bull SAND SCRAMBLE 2022: What you need to know

Red Bull’s Sand Scramble will return in 2022 to Glamis on Saturday, December 10. After a successful debut last year, Red Bull Sand Scramble returns to the dunes with another custom-built 2.8-mile off-road course. The bespoke course plays into the natural sandscape and winds through the bowls of the Imperial Dunes in Southern California, providing an epic single-day event for recreational and professional racers alike to celebrate the passion of off-road racing. To meet the inaugural year’s rider interest and demand, up to 150 racers can enter the field to race this year. 

 

While the race format remains the same, with racers completing up to three laps during the race, one thing for certain is the 2.8-mile racecourse will not be the same as 2021. The natural habitat of the dunes guarantees an ever-changing field and fresh course with new ridges, obstacles and technicalities. Registration, recreational permitting information and more about Red Bull Sand Scramble can be found at RedBull.com/SandScramble.
