Participant Rules
Participant Rules
Participants provide their own four wheel drive vehicle; take care of their own food and non-alcoholic beverages for the trip. Suggested essentials, beyond plenty of water, include sun protection, and layered clothing in case of changing weather circumstances that are always a possibility during the spring in southeastern Utah.
There is truly something for everyone here in Moab Utah. That is why it is referred to so often as the Mecca of 4wheeling! There are trails for all abilities, some for two wheel drive vehicles, while others require seriously modified vehicles.
Vehicle safety equipment is extremely important. It is essential that participants stay on the designated routes, and that some basic rules are followed.
By signing the registration, be sure to read that you agree to these conditions. They are:
RULE 1: "A vehicle must have a roll bar to participate in the UTV Rally and have seatbelts for all occupants. The roll bar must cover all occupants."
RULE 2: "Vehicles must have safety equipment adequate for legal operation in Utah. We mean seat belts, and we urge everyone to use them. Having proper brakes, lights, etc. is implied in this rule and should go without saying."
RECOMMENDATIONS: We recommend that each vehicle carry a fire extinguisher, first aid kit, tow strap, and a spare tire.
All of the trips travel across federal and Utah State lands on established roads, and even through some private land sections.
STAY ON THE TRAIL/ROADS. The organization files the required permits according to the number of participants in each group, and pays the associated fees which are included in the cost of registration. It is critical that participants respect the land and follow the guides, staying to the designated route. This is absolutely essential for anyone visiting the backcountry in and around Moab throughout the year.
