Register for Overland Area camping

Invite ALL your buddies to join you in the first ever Overland Area at The 50th! What you put in your dedicated 25'x50' space is up to you - bikes, overlanding vehicles, tents, trailers - the possibilities are endless. This area is bound to be noisier, rowdier and more fun than should be allowed in public, so join us at the bonfire pit. Space is limited, so register quickly!

Rider Training at The 50th

The US Rider Academy (part of the BMW Performance Center) is back once again with their popular half-day Authority Training classes! These classes are underwritten by the MOA Foundation and therefore cost just $100 per participant. These training opportunities sell out every year, so register now to save your spot.

Breakfast is served

You've asked for it - now enjoy it at The 50th! Breakfast will be available to all rallygoers for just $8. Enjoy a different breakfast Thursday, Friday and Saturday and get your rally days started right. Purchase breakfast tickets now.

More to come!
