“The Baja XL is a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the primal thrill of exploration in landscapes that defy imagination.”
“Unlike sanitized “adventures” constrained by rigid rules and following in the footsteps of its Budapest Bamako Rally from which it was spawned, the Baja XL embraces a philosophy of “Anyone, By Anything, In Any Way.” This allows participants to tackle the peninsula using any vehicle and strategy they choose, requiring deep creativity and resourcefulness. The 10-day journey pushes both humans and machines to their absolute limits, testing physical endurance, mental resilience, and problem-solving skills in ways that few other experiences can match.”
GIVING MORE THAN WE TAKE
“Unlike sanitized “adventures” constrained by rigid rules and following in the footsteps of its Budapest Bamako Rally from which it was spawned, the Baja XL embraces a philosophy of “Anyone, By Anything, In Any Way.”
This allows participants to tackle the peninsula using any vehicle and strategy they choose, requiring deep creativity and resourcefulness. The 10-day journey pushes both humans and machines to their absolute limits, testing physical endurance, mental resilience, and problem-solving skills in ways that few other experiences can match.”
Path is a term we have learned is used “loosely” in the BajaXL community. More of a general direction and some waypoints. A lot of, “hopefully that trail is still there.” A few warning, or words of encouragement (details unclear) indicating, ” at some point, all you wheels will be off the ground.”
But what is a path really?
At some point, someone had to go first. There should be plenty of chances for going first in a general direction… choosing our own line. Letting the path reveal itself along the way.
Without official support or rescue teams, a mechanical failure, injury, or navigational error could quickly escalate into a life-threatening situation. Participants must possess advanced survival skills, expert vehicle maintenance abilities, and the mental fortitude to handle extreme stress and isolation.
The absence of organizational oversight means that adventurers are entirely responsible for their own safety and well-being. There will be no checkpoints, no mandatory rest periods, and no regulations to prevent participants from pushing beyond their limits. The risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion, or encounters with dangerous wildlife is ever-present.
Potential participants must conduct a brutally honest self-assessment of their skills, experience, and risk tolerance before committing to this extreme challenge. The Baja XL of 2025 is not just an adventure – it’s a potentially life-altering decision that demands careful consideration and extensive preparation.
Then Let’s Go!
For those seeking the pinnacle of adventure in an increasingly tamed world, the community-led Baja XL of 2025 stands alone. It’s not just an event – it’s a chance to be part of a movement that’s redefining what’s possible when passionate individuals come together to push the boundaries of exploration.

First, we are not looking for sponsors that will hold us accountable to fake product placement. Hard pass.
