# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The 500 West
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 am – Sat, 14 Mar, 2026 at 05:30 pm
- **Event Description**: The 500 is back! The hardest 8 hours and 20 minutes of your life returns March 13-14 at Mesquite MX just outside Las Vegas, NV!

WHAT IS THE 500?

An 8-hr and 20-minute (500 total minutes) team or solo race with your boys (or girls). The course will consist of two tamed down moto tracks, a 5-6 mile off-road loop, and a hard enduro section (don't worry, we have a Scaredy Cat lane). This equates to an average 17-minute lap time for a novice.

Whether you are a Hard Enduro Champion or a weekend warrior looking for fun with your buddies, The 500 is a perfect mix for all skill levels. The goal? Have fun, kick some beers, race your buddies and try not to throw up. Oh, and do more laps than whoever you’re trying to beat.

WHAT’S NEW?

Pit Locations: Pits are sold individually and will represent your starting position (New for 2026). For example, all 01 pit locations will start first, followed by the 02 locations, and so on. Want to get a jump on the competition, better be near the front.

Pit locations 101-125 will allow for one race support rig (RV, Trailer, Van, Etc.) on pit lane. Purchase early, the club is limited to just 25 teams.

Pitting: Riders are not required to pit. If you want to torture yourself with multiple laps, you can skip pit lane.

When pitting, you will ONLY go down your respective pit lane (see map below). Also of note, all pit lanes will be a mandatory 10mph speed limit. Riders breaking the speed limit will be subject to disqualification.

Pricing has changed this year. It’s a bit more complicated than this, but know the better the starting position, the more your spot costs. But now there’s no pro class. Everyone is eligible for the purse in the overall ranking. Part of the price increase will go into the purse. Details on that later. If you have questions, let us know at hotdog@vurbmoto.com and we’ll get you dialed.

Spot are limited and this race has sold out the last two years, so reserve your spot today. Once we reach 200 teams, we will close sign-ups. Visit vurbmoto.com/500w for additional info.

Support those who support the sport. The 500 would not be possible without the support of FMF, Michelin, and MotoSport.
