Mega Run 2023 is our club's 23rd annual off-road event and competition. The event is comprised of independent wheeling, camping, competitions, a raffle, and awards. Mega Run is family-friendly and appropriate for rigs of all sizes (except dirt bikes and 4-wheelers) and drivers of all skill levels.  The park has primitive camping, showers, and bathrooms, or if camping isn't your style, you can stay at any of the park's cabins/bunk houses, or stay at a hotel in town. However, book quickly because rooms sell out fast! This year's Mega Run will be held on March 2nd - March 5th at noon at Barnwell Mountain Recreation Area in Gilmer, Texas. Please see the Schedule for specific dates, events, and times. Please read below for further details and let us know if you have any questions. We hope to see you in March!

Online Registration is Closed!

• If multiple drivers wish to compete in the same rig and the same event there must be registered for each driver. (i.e. if you want to drive your rig in the morning on the rock garden and your friend drives it on the obstacle course in the afternoon that is one registration. Whereas, if you both want to drive the same rig on the rock garden that requires a second registration.)
