Raptor Rally Closes Parts of Standard Wash OHV Area October 14–17
The BLM will close the racecourse and restrict the rest of the open area near Lake Havasu City for the event.
Riders planning a mid-October trip to the Standard Wash OHV Area near Lake Havasu City should plan around the 2026 Raptor Rally 003. The Bureau of Land Management's Lake Havasu Field Office will temporarily close and restrict selected public land in the open area from 11:59 p.m. October 14 through 11:59 p.m. October 17, the agency announced October 1.
Land in and around the event will be closed, restricted, or set aside as spectator areas. The BLM will mark closed and restricted areas at key access points with signs, fencing or barriers. In past race closures at Standard Wash, the racecourse itself was closed to public entry and the rest of the open area was placed under restrictions, but the boundaries are set event by event, so check this year's map rather than last year's.
The closure map is attached to the BLM announcement and copies are at the Lake Havasu Field Office, 1785 Kiowa Ave. The field office is at 928-505-1200.
