ntering
The Alaska to Mexico
Marathon is open to all
abilities. Husbands and wives,
parents and children, and just
good friends all compete on
our events. The evening social
gatherings ensure life-long
friendships are forged – united in
an adventure.
Eligible cars
Just about any car of a type built
before the end of 1976. If your
car was built in the late 1970s,
but it is similar to an earlier car,
then it is almost certainly eligible.
If you are uncertain, please check
with us before submitting your
entry form.
We love to see people using
older cars so there is an entirely
separate classification for cars of
a specification produced before
the end of 1945.
Event description
The Alaska to Mexico Marathon
will use a variety of terrain,
including regular gravel and sandy
sections. We use minor roads to
explore areas that few tourists
will ever see, some of which will
present driving challenges. We
go out of our way to avoid really
rough roads where possible.
On this event you will
encounter some “regularity”
sections, where you will try
to arrive at secret checks at a
precise time. The technique is
easily learnt; mastering them may
take a few days. We have also
planned tests on private land,
tracks and circuits. No special
equipment is required for these.
Underlying the competitive
elements will be the basic
challenge of driving across a
continent in a fifty-year-old car.
Your preparation, ingenuity and
resilience will all be tested.
