Community Support Runs Deep

This race isn’t possible without the people and organizations who call the borderlands home. The support behind BorderLands Gravel runs deep—from both sides of the international line.

Key partners include the City of Douglas and its Fire/EMT, Police, and Tourism Departments, Cochise County, the Mexican Consulate of Douglas, and federal agencies like the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the Department of Homeland Security’s Customs & Border Protection, and the U.S. Forest Service.

We’re also proud to have the backing of the John Slaughter Ranch National Historic Landmark, the Malpai Borderlands Group, the Southern Arizona Sports, Tourism & Film Authority, and the City of Agua Prieta, Mexico. Local champions like the Douglas Historical Society, South East Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Art Car World, Earn Your Spurs Inc., the Boy Scouts of America Troop, and Sean Benesh Media round out the incredible coalition that helps make this event happen.

We’re also grateful for our in-kind sponsors who contribute directly to your experience on race day. These include The Gadsden Hotel, UnTapped, LMNT Hydration, Skratch Labs, Aqua Life Water, Shimano – United in Gravel, and Seal It. Local businesses like Lajamari Clay Company, The Border Mart in Douglas, and Print N Promos have stepped up in meaningful ways, as have supporters like Art Car World, Fresh Agenda, Charlie 2, Borderland Chevrolet/GMC, Walmart – Douglas, Akaso Action Cameras, Nikki De La Torre, and our registration partner, BikeReg.com.

Please support these businesses and organizations during your time in Douglas. Their continued involvement depends on the enthusiasm and appreciation of riders, volunteers, and spectators like you.
