King of the Hammers Begins Feb 1

Mad-Max-Meets-Burning-Man Desert Party

The 2019 King of the Hammers week will commence with Hammertown opening to the public on Friday, February 1, 2019 and will continue through Saturday, February 9, 2019.

King of the Hammers is considered the toughest one-day off-road race in the world. It is the largest off-road race event in North America in terms of both competitors and spectators. It combines desert racing and rock crawling, and has expanded from one race to a series of five races held throughout the week that take place each February in Johnson Valley, CA.

The actual King of The Hammers race will take place on Friday, February 8, 2019. Most races from 2018 are expected to return for 2019 including The Every Man Challenge, KOH UTV Race and the Shootout.

New for 2019 is the Toyo Tires Desert Invitational Presented by Monster Energy. This will be a Trophy Truck Race held on Thursday February 7, 2019.
