20 Years of Hammers
2026 marks the 20th anniversary of King of the Hammers. Combining desert racing, rock crawling, endurance, and mechanical innovation into a single event, KOH pushes both drivers and machines beyond conventional limits. VIP access puts you closer to the logistics, strategy, and raw engineering that define the race.
Twenty years ago, it started with a handful of rigs and a dream. Now it’s the largest motorized event on America’s public lands and showcases what motorized recreation can be when we have access to places like Johnson Valley. But that access isn’t guaranteed…
A Sweepstakes to Defend Access
Nearly a decade ago the off-road community banded together to save the Hammers and access to Johnson Valley. However, public land access is never static. It is constantly, and often quietly, contested.
In September of 2025, a new military proposal once again threatened access to the Congressionality-recognized OHV recreation area of Johnson Valley. That’s when BlueRibbon Coalition and the off-road community stood our ground— again.
BRC brought together a coalition of off-road associations to direct advocacy efforts to ensure that military expansion would not impair the ability of King of the Hammers to operate.
While KOH is safe this year, the issue is ongoing. BlueRibbon Coalition is actively engaged in this process—monitoring developments, advocating for access protections, and preparing to respond if conditions change.
How Your Donation Keeps Us Fighting
Public land access is rarely lost in a single decision. It erodes through revisions, amendments, and “temporary” changes that quietly become permanent. Staying involved requires sustained legal, technical, and advocacy capacity.
Every sweepstakes entry directly supports BlueRibbon Coalition’s mission to keep public lands— like Johnson Valley— open for motorized recreation. Your donation helps:
- Legal action when access is threatened by closures, expansions, or policy changes
- Advocacy and representation in front of federal agencies and decision-makers
- On-the-ground defense of OHV areas used for racing, recreation, and industry
- Long-term protection so events like King of the Hammers don’t disappear
Johnson Valley still exists as a world-class off-road destination because people fight for it. And with your help, we won’t stop fighting.
