COORJC Rookie Runs

2026 Season Rookie Runs will be held every last Saturday of the month from May to October

Next Rookie Run will be held on May 30th, 2026

Join us for a Rookie Run!

Join us for a day of trail riding where you can test your limits—and those of your Jeep. If you are NEW to off-roading and want to learn how it’s done, this is the event for you. This event is an entry-level introduction to the sport. Our experienced trail guides will teach you everything from where you are allowed to legally off-road to how to do it safely.

The Requirements: You must have a "Trail Rated" Jeep and be new to off-roading. Non-rookies will likely find these runs too easy and not challenging enough.

Event Details

Jeep Only: This event is strictly for Jeeps. If you have a different 4x4 vehicle, please check out OF4WD.com.
Membership: Open to both COORJC members and non-members. While you don't have to be a member for your first run, we highly encourage joining both COORJC and OF4WD. Joining COORJC allows you to register for a second and third run.
- Note: We utilize OF4WD for our event liability insurance. We recommend that participants maintain an active OF4WD membership to ensure they have personal coverage under

this policy while on the trail.

Cost: Our Rookie Runs are 100% free thanks to our dedicated sponsors and volunteers.
Trails: Rookies will be taken on entry-level, stock-friendly trails (rating no higher than 3+). Most runs are located around Buckhorn in the 5-Points system.

Attendance Rules:

COORJC Members: May attend up to 3 Rookie Runs, with trail difficulty increasing each time. We also encourage you to join our regular club runs!

Non-Members: Invited to join one (1) run to experience the sport. To join us for more, please consider becoming a COORJC member.
