From Jake Good, Event Site Coordinator for WE Rock Events

The 2026 schedule has been released, and we are excited to share the details with you!

Western Series
Round 1 kicks off in Bagdad, Arizona—always a crowd favorite! This year, we are working on opening a new rock section to offer fresh challenges for the teams while maintaining the excellent viewing areas spectators have come to expect. Round 2 returns to another fan favorite: Cedar City. This event will debut a new UTV Shootout format to complement the rock crawling competition. Watch for more details about this exciting addition coming Saturday afternoon!

Yes, we are coming back to Moonrocks! After a 20-year hiatus, we are breaking the seal with a night event full of action under the lights at this iconic location.

Eastern Series
The Eastern Series starts earlier this year, with Round 1 set for May at Good Evening Ranch. We are partnering with Cam Beasley the following weekend, making it a full week of extreme action. Kizzar Hilltop will light up again with fireworks and rock crawling as Round 2 delivers another intense competition. Round 3 takes us back to the quarry at Badlands Offroad Park, where we are expanding the SXS competition to make it bigger and better than ever.

East vs. West Showdown
This year, the East vs. West event will be held in Mason, Texas, at the much-loved Katemcy Rocks (K2). While this event will not be a double-points race for the Branik National Series, it will still count toward both the Eastern and Western Series standings—an event you will not want to miss!

Grand Nationals & 4×4 Week
4×4 Week in Farmington, New Mexico, continues to grow every year. With guided trail rides, a swap meet, and nightly activities leading up to Grand Nationals, it is shaping up to be an unforgettable week in the Glade Recreation Area.

New in 2026
We are adding an Unlimited Shootout during Easter Jeep Safari at Area BFE. This single-class event will challenge drivers over the most difficult terrain imaginable. With two vehicles running side by side, this new format brings back the thrilling XRRA vibes!

Also new this year, we will host a WEROCK Lite event, as Dave Wong dubbed it. This condensed competition—3 Pro courses and 3 Sportsman courses—will be held at Trail Hero on Sand Mountain, Utah, providing a perfect platform to showcase your skills to a huge off-road audience.

What is W.E. ROCK?
The sport of World Extreme Rock Crawling or W.E. ROCK as it is known to our fans is all about challenging driver and machine. Competitors build amazing vehicles to drive over the most extreme obstacles our world renowned course designer can dream up. You will see vehicles perform maneuvers you never thought possible. Conquering large boulders, steep climbs, rock ledges and massive drops, all while avoiding strategically placed cones. Depending on the class the competitors choose to compete in their vehicle must follow some basic build rules and safety requirements. The rules are designed to keep each class fair while allowing the builder freedom to engineer the most competitive vehicle they can. Once on the course the driver and spotter have 10 minutes to navigate 3-4 gates (set of cones) without hitting any cones and as few backups as possible. Each cone hit or backup they take adds points to their score and the team with the lowest score wins. The courses are designed to provide the most action for the spectators throughout the weekend and force drivers to push what they have built to the limits.

Specializing in marketing, visibility, relationship and brand building, and acting as MetalCloak's field marketing representative, I have travelled across the country (quite a few times!) using Metalcloak’s CTI (Corner Travel Index) to educate the off road enthusiast. I have also worked with Jeep Jamboree USA as event staff, to provide additional value and education to its participants. I've been fortunate enough to work with both international as well as domestic media; have attended most of the off-road events across our country; and have driven a wide variety of vehicles.
