A Poker Run is a fun, self-paced trail experience where participants follow a designated route and stop at multiple checkpoints along the way. At each stop, you’ll draw a playing card.

It’s not about speed, it’s about enjoying the trail, making strategic stops, and sharing the experience with the community.

No. Off-highway vehicles (OHVs) such as ATVs, UTVs, side-by-sides, and dirt bikes are not allowed anywhere in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. For more info please visit the 4×4 & Driving Access FAQs https://www.stagecoachtrails.com/4×4-driving

Absolutely. Ocotillo On The Rocks is designed for all types of vehicles and all experience levels. Our goal is to create an inclusive event where everyone can enjoy the off-road experience, regardless of how built their vehicle may be.

Agile Offroad provides all hosted dinners and evening bar service as part of the event experience.

During the day, this is a self-contained event, so please plan to bring your own food and plenty of beverages to stay fueled and hydrated. Desert conditions this time of year are typically very warm, so we strongly recommend bringing extra water and essentials for daytime activities.

Yes, vegetarian dinner options are available.

Vehicle Requirements for All Vehicles

Vehicle Requirements for All Vehicles

Check the vehicle jack’s working order, locate it, remove it, and ensure all parts are with the vehicle. Remove and test it. If using an aftermarket jack like the Agile Offroad scissor jack, locate the factory or alternate jack points. Practice using it before the event.

Ensure you have the correct lug nuts for your wheels, whether stock steel or aftermarket aluminum. If unsure, have us inspect your vehicle. Carry the appropriate key or socket to remove the lug nuts. Also, carry an 18-24” breaker bar compatible with your key or socket. Check all this before driving.

Tire deflators allow you to easily remove air from your vehicle’s tires, making driving on desert terrain far more enjoyable. We strongly recommend airing down every vehicle before hitting the trail. There are many options for tire deflation.

Our preferred method is using Apex RPV valves, but you can also use the ARB EZ Tire Deflator or any number of preset-style deflators available. Whatever you have, practice how to use them before you go off-road.

An air compressor makes it easy to inflate your tires once you are ready to hit the pavement again. If your system for deflating and inflating tires is efficient, you will better enjoy the off-road benefits of tire deflation.

We recommend the Onboard Air systems by ARB. Regardless of the compressor you choose, we strongly advise selecting one outputting 6 CFM or more at 90 psi to effectively inflate large tires you from low pressure.

A tire plug kit and sidewall patch kit cover the most common breakdowns on both the trail and pavement. Debris can easily disrupt your travel plans, but comprehensive kits from Speedy Seal and Glue Tread can turn these repairs from a major annoyance into a simple process.

We strongly recommend a vehicle inspection before traveling to Ocotillo on the Rocks. We have reserved a limited amount of shop time to accommodate event guests and encourage you to call and sign up as soon as possible based on your approximate travel distance to Agile Offroad:

  • September 28 – October 2: Travel time of 2 hours or less
  • October 5 – 9: Travel time of 2–6 hours
  • October 12 – 16: Travel time of 7 or more hours
