Matt and Josh Martelli, promoters of the Mint 400 off-road race, have announced a new off-road desert race named The California 300. 

The California 300—set for October 12–16—will feature 40+ classes and will take place on a newly mapped 75-mile race course for a four-lap race in Barstow, California.

“This is our next step in what will be a multi-year rollout of new events between now and 2025,” said California 300 Event Director Kilian Hamlin. 

The event will include an off-road festival, pre-running, and a public poker run, followed by Limited class and UTV World Championship racing before wrapping with Class 1, Unlimited Truck SPECs, Unlimited Trucks, and more.

The Martelli-owned Mad Media will provide media coverage of the event. The announcement comes from the Martelli Brothers after more than a decade of promoting and producing two popular off-road desert races, The Mint 400 and The UTV World Championship.

Racer registration and more details will be announced in the coming months. For more information, visit off-roadracer.com.
