You asked we listened!!!
We've decided to implement an additional way to sign up for the trail rides at Dixie Run 38. On 9/8/24 you will get another email, and there will also be a Facebook post with a SignUp Genius link for trail rides. All the trail rides listed below will be available on the sign up, but only HALF of the available slots will be available early. The other HALF will be available At The Gate. We want to give you the opportunity to plan ahead, but also give others that don't have that luxury, or are undecided, to sign up on site. We do ask however, if you sign up for a ride and then have a change in plans, that you inform us so we can remove your name to make that slot available again for someone else. This opportunity will only be available for 2 Weeks and therefore will shut down on 9/22/24 at 6:00PM EST.. This time in-between the signup closure and the event will help us gauge how popular certain rides are or aren't, and make any necessary changes. Please remember that all information available is subject to change should the need arise.
There will be guided rides for drivers and rigs of all skill levels and builds! Here is our tentative schedule for a Fantastic Weekend with Southern followed by the event location layout and GPS Coordinates.

A FRIENDLY REMINDER ABOUT TECH INSPECTION!!!
SFWDA REQUIRES the following at all events with Guided Rides. Failure to Pass Tech Inspection will keep your rig from joining a guided ride until all requirements are met. Tech Inspectors will place a highly visible determined item on each passed rig so that trail guides know from a distance that your rig may participate.
- Charged and Secured Fire Extinguisher that is easily accessible to the Driver and or Passenger if in attendance.
- First Aid Kit that is easily accessible to the Driver and or Passenger if in attendance. It is encouraged that it is highly visible, and marked on the exterior of the rig where it might be located in the event of an emergency.
- A secured Battery. We will allow Non-OEM tie downs but we must approve that it is well secured. NO BUNGEE CORDS!!!
VENDORS
We are so thankful for our vendors that support us year after year.
One of the main attractions at Dixie Run is the RAFFLE!
The funds from this event raffle are one of the primary revenue sources for our association. Each item donated and each dollar contributed by attendees go directly back to SFWDA and funds our core mission.
