Temporary land closure for Racing the Dam 500 race

The Bureau of Land Management Lake Havasu Field Office announces the temporary closure and restriction of selected public lands for the 2025 Legacy Racing the Dam 500 race in La Paz County. The temporary closures will be in effect 11:59 p.m. Feb. 10, 2025, through 11:59 p.m. Feb.23, 2025.

“These temporary closure and restrictions are designed to keep participants, spectators and the visiting public safe during this year’s races,” said Colorado River District’s District Manager William Mack, Jr. “These precautions help ensure safe and successful events.” BLM special recreation permits require event organizers to comply with all federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, orders, and regulations.

Access to public lands in and around the racecourse will be temporarily closed, restricted, or designated as spectator areas. Restricted and closed areas will be marked at key access points with signs, fencing or barriers. Maps and information regarding both designated racecourse closures and restricted areas are attached. Copies of the maps are also available at the Lake Havasu Field Office, 1785 Kiowa Ave., Lake Havasu City, Arizona.
