COORJC Rookie Runs

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.
