RIM RUNNER 700 — WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

700+ MILES • 5 DAYS • 21 UTVs • 40 RIDERS • 5 DOGS

The inaugural Rim Runner 700 is officially in the books!

From August 16–21, UTV Offroad Adventures took riders on an incredible 700+ mile loop through Eastern Arizona, riding along the Arizona Alpine Trail (AZAT) and exploring the spectacular White Mountains, Mogollon Rim and surrounding high country.

Riders traveled from Ohio, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Idaho, California and across Arizona to experience this first-of-its-kind adventure.

Greens Peak — 10,115 feet
White Mountains & Eastern Arizona high country
Entire Hannagan Meadow Lodge & cabins reserved for our group
Hotel breakfasts & breakfast at the lodge
Four dinners along the route
Planned fuel & supply stops
Elk, deer, antelope & wild horses
Rain, mud, rocks and plenty of adventure
700+ miles completed!

And this trip was about so much more than the miles. By the end of five days, a group of riders from across the country had become a group of friends, sharing laughs, stories, challenges and memories that will last a lifetime.

A huge shout-out to Bill Nash, owner of Nash Powersports and our Title Sponsor, who joined us on the trail—and happened to celebrate his birthday with us! What a way to spend a birthday!

We also want to recognize Reid with Rugged Radios for his incredible knowledge and support throughout the ride. From diagnosing breakdowns and helping with repairs to making sure our radios stayed working in top-notch condition, Reid was there when we needed him.

And of course, we had plenty of laughs along the way—including our “Dumb Ass” Award going to our Nebraska couple for taking a little extra time to get the flag rotation figured out! All in good fun!

Our Poker winner was also announced on Day 5, with a portion of the winnings going back to Arizona Alpine Trail Inc.

Most importantly, UTV Offroad Adventures put an incredible amount of heart, time and hard work into planning this adventure—from the route and daily mileage to accommodations, breakfasts, dinners, fuel stops, supplies and all the little details that kept everyone moving.

We didn't just ride 700 miles. We experienced Eastern Arizona, explored the White Mountains, rode the Arizona Alpine Trail and created something truly special together.

Thank you to every rider, sponsor, supporter and everyone who helped make the inaugural Rim Runner 700 possible!
