Pit locations are filling up fast for The 500 West at Mesquite MX on March 14. Row 100 is SOLD OUT. Row 200 only has 7 pit locations remaining. There are only 5 solo spots left. As of Dec 16, we are 50% sold out.
If you are on the fence about racing The 500 West in 2026, you need to decided quickly, as we’ve sold out the last two years and spots are limited once again.
IMPORTANT FOR 2026:
A new starting procedure. Pit #500 goes first, then the starting order continues as follows:
1. X01 Pits: 901, 801, 701, 601, 501, 401, 301, 201, 101
2. All X02 Pits
3. X03, X04, X05, X06 … through X25
All pit locations will have variable pricing based on:
* Pit location
* Starting order
* Your Pit Location is your Race Entry Fee for the event. If you did not select and pay for a Pit Location, your registration is not complete.
Of note: EVERY team is eligible for the purse payout in 2026, so starting order WILL matter. Details on purse coming soon.

What Is This!?!?!
The 500 is an 8-hour, 20-minute (500 minutes) team or solo endurance race with up to 4 riders PER team. Ride with your boys (or girls) on a uniquely designed course featuring:
* Two tamed-down motocross tracks
* A 5–6 mile off-road loop
* A hard enduro section (with a Scaredy Cat aka Crane Lane option)
* Average lap times around 17 minutes
Whether you’re a Hard Enduro contender or a weekend warrior looking for a full-send day with friends, The 500 West has something for every skill level.
The goal: Have fun. Race your buddies. Don’t puke. Oh—and finish with more laps than whoever you’re trying to beat.
CLASS LIST
Class structure will remain the same in 2026. If you are unfamiliar with class structure, here is how it works. Classes will be based on the combined age of the overall team as of the day of the race. For example, a team of four 25-year-old riders would register for the 91-119yrs old class. A team of a 40-year-old, a 50-year-old, a 60-year-old and a 20-year-old would sign up for the 160yr plus class.
