Los Cabos implements security measures for Baja 1000 race

Authorities in Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, have announced a series of security and mobility protocols for the upcoming SCORE International Baja 1000 race. To manage the event, which expects over 300 teams from more than 15 countries, officials will implement temporary closures at the Santa Catarina, Las Ánimas, and Santa Rosa creek crossings.

According to Víctor Manuel Montaño Gaytán, the municipal director of Public Relations, the crossings are expected to be temporarily open for vehicle transit around 11:00 AM on Friday, before closing again at 8:00 PM as competitors return. Additionally, Civil Protection will begin a protocol on the night of Thursday, November 12, to move livestock away from the racing routes to ensure safety.

Los Cabos Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez has urged residents and visitors to respect all safety measures, stay within designated spectator zones, and follow instructions from operational personnel to prevent accidents. The event is viewed as a significant opportunity to promote Los Cabos as an international destination for sports tourism.
