Moab REDROK Rally brings three days of off-road action and family fun

The Old Spanish Trail Arena became the center of Moab’s spring off-road scene as the REDROK Rally brought guided rides, vendor activity, nightly raffles and a headline $50,000 main raffle to 3641 S Highway 191. For anyone not in a side-by-side or on a trail run, the big effect was simple: traffic, parking and people flow tightened around one of the town’s busiest corridors while the rally ran April 23-25.

Presented by Young Powersports and SLIKROK Productions, the rally leaned hard into the kind of events that make Moab a magnet for machine-based travel. The lineup included expert-guided rides for all skill levels, Ladies’ Rides, a cornhole tournament, sponsor giveaways and a Kawasaki KRX giveaway raffle. Online registration was already closed, but onsite registration opened April 22, which helped drive an early surge of arrivals before the weekend even started.

That mattered because the rally landed in a town that markets itself as a basecamp for off-roading and other outdoor recreation. Moab’s 4-wheeling guide lays out a wide range of terrain, from easy scenic drives to highly challenging 4x4 trails, but it also makes one point clear: off-road travel is limited to designated motorized routes. In practice, that means the heaviest pressure falls on the trail corridors built for rigs, not on every canyon road or hiking access point. Families and hikers looking for a calmer day were better off sticking to non-motorized outings and avoiding the arena area and the trail networks feeding into guided ride departures.

The REDROK Rally also fit into a crowded spring calendar that has kept Moab’s lodging and visitor services under pressure. Discover Moab says Easter Jeep Safari ran March 28 through April 5 and included nearly 40 trails plus a vendor expo at the Old Spanish Trail Arena on April 2-3. A separate 2025 rally listing showed how REDROK has already been packaged as a multi-day draw, with three days of guided rides, daily raffles, a T-shirt and required Moab City and BLM fees, plus Ladies’ Rides.

That steady stack of events helps explain why new rallies matter far beyond the people registering for them. Moab’s off-road economy has long been shaped by gatherings that fill hotels, move restaurant traffic and keep the trailheads busy, and REDROK added another strong pulse to the spring mix. For travelers planning around the town’s motorized season, the message was unmistakable: when REDROK rolls in, Moab does not move at its usual pace.
