Hey guys!

2026 is rolling, and the Cruisers on the Rocks crew is already fired up and planning what’s shaping up to be one of our best years yet! Here’s the latest on the upcoming events, key dates, and everything you need to know to get ready.

 

Cleanup on the Rocks 2026

We’re kicking things off with the Cleanup on the Rocks 2026 trail cleanup day, and this year we’re taking it to Talladega National Forest in Alabama! The Ozarks plan didn’t quite line up, but Alabama’s trails are calling our name, and I know this is going to be a fantastic day of wheeling, cleaning, and hanging out with the best people around. Plus, we’re bringing the COTR smoker along for some epic BBQ—think mouthwatering smoked meats to fuel the crew after we hit the trails!

 

• March 14 – lock it in for Talladega National Forest!

• Free to join, and we’re bringing the good stuff: food (including that killer BBQ from the smoker), plenty of drinks (beer included), and some sweet giveaways.

• We’ll be setup in an area with dispersed camping all around, so come early—camp Friday night, Saturday night, or both. Make it a full weekend escape!

• Saturday morning at 9 AM we rally up, hit the trails in our rigs, and give those paths some serious love by clearing trash.

• When the work’s done, we’ll circle back for cold drinks, that epic BBQ dinner, and the giveaway fun.

 

More details, including the exact meetup spot, are coming your way in the next emails. Get this one on your calendar—it’s going to be a great time cleaning trails, eating great food, and kicking back with the group!

 

Crockies3

Silverton, Colorado, here we come—again! We’re heading back for July 27-31, with the East Goes West Overnight Run lighting things up July 26–27. The last two Crockies were incredible, and this one’s got all the makings of another unforgettable mountain adventure. Can’t wait to see you all out there!

 

• Registration opens Saturday, April 4, but early access starts Wednesday, April 1 for COTR5, Crockies2, Trail Cleanup attendees, plus Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders.

• The 2026 East Goes West Overnight Run sign-ups open late April/early May—limited spots, so move fast! COTR5 folks get first crack at them.

• Trail picks start rolling in early July—get ready to choose your lines!

 

COTR6

Six years already? Time flies when you’re out wheeling with this crew! Cruisers on the Rocks is returning to Windrock Park for our sixth straight October—October 21–25 is the window for what’s going to be an absolute blast. Mark those dates big!

 

• Registration fires up in early August 2026.

• Early registration priority goes to Crockies3, COTR5, Trail Cleanup attendees, and our Military, Law Enforcement, and First Responders.
