Because the sponsor, San Diego BMW Motorcycles, provides dinner and covers all the costs of operating the rally, rider's entries are a 100% deductible donation to the PKD Foundation (The majority of donations have been between $50 and $100, but any amount you decide is welcome!!). 

Generous sponsors of this year's merchandise prizes are Schuberth, Shoei and Nexx Helmets. California law requires use of a DOT certified helmet and the LowCal 250 recommends a quality full-face helmet that provides superior protection, quality features and long lasting comfort to reduce fatigue and enhance your riding pleasure.

Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) affects 600,000 Americans and 12.5 million children and adults worldwide. Visit PKDcure.org to find out more about the only organization worldwide dedicated to promoting research to find a cure for PKD and improving the care and treatment of those it affects.

The 8-Hour Mini Rally is defined as a self-navigating bonus-hunting rally.  Explore our novice rally instruction materials at Rally Routing 101 Wiki.
