Rocks and Valleys Off Road Course
3407 E Mannsiding Rd, Harrison, Michigan 48625
Reject Run is a family friendly 3 day winter off road event to get you and your SXS/Jeep/Truck/SUV out of the garage and into the woods. There are no limits to how small or big your rig can be and we do not limit the number that can attend. There will be trucks from stock to 46s and everything in between. We will have a night run Friday, Saturday wheeling all day with 2 food trucks on scene to help serve you. Sunday wheeling if your still surviving.
RR 2019 will be held at Rocks and Valleys Off Road Park Exit 168 off US127 just north of Clare, MI. Your rig does not need to be street legal but does need an orange flag. All R&V rules apply in the park so check out their website. http://rocksandvalleys.com/rules.php
Park fees:
Friday Night $10 per rig
Saturday $25 per rig plus $5 per passenger
Sunday $25 per rig flat rate
Camping $15 per night
Lodging is available in Clare and in Harrison. Most of us stay at the Doherty Hotel. There is lots of trailer parking and they will give a little discount if you reserve before December. There is a pool and hot tub for the kids and full bar for the adults. Then you can just stumble to your room... If you are staying at Doherty tell them that you are with the Reject Run so the rooms we reserved get used and we get the discount.
Shirts, hoodies, stickers and other swag will be available and we will have a variety of styles and sizes for purchase through out the weekend. I will update prices as soon as we get them. But we do our best to keep the cost down.
We wheel hard and party harder! Ron and the guys have been out on the trails moving things around and making new ones. So far its been great. Keep it up Ron. Last year we had around 250 rigs show up with a line out into the road so get there early. If you print off and sign a waiver in advance it will help the morning go smoother.
See the event flyer (thats not done yet but coming soon) for whats happening when/where and Please use the "Going" button on the event page if you plan on being there any or all the days so we can get an approximate number.
Drop me a message or post it up if you have any questions and cant wait to see everyone there.
