2027 Americas ADV Cannonball Rally - Baja Edition!
Event Overview
The 3rd annual ADV Cannonball Rally will start in Cabo, Baja, Mexico, on May 1st, 2027, and finish on Friday, May 7, 2027, on South Padre Island, Texas, USA. The rally will feature a paved backbone route, along with several optional off-road sections throughout Baja, Mexico, and Arizona.
In December 2026, the exact optional off-pavement route and checkpoints will be verified during the rally crew pre-ride.
Due to the nature of the towns we’ll be passing through in Mexico and Arizona, accommodations are left to the competitors, except for the start hotel in Cabo and the finish line hotel in South Padre Island. A discount code will be provided for those official rally hotels.
Assuming competitors will ride from Tijuana to Cabo to start the rally, riders can anticipate covering over 4000 miles within a span of 10-11 days. This makes it the world’s longest international competitive ADV motorcycle event.
Baja Mexico Free Zone Notes
An optional, informal convoy will be organized for competitors who will meet in Tijuana and ride down to Cabo.
