In late October 2026, Los Cabos municipal officials began coordinating with ranchers and rural community representatives to manage route inspections for the SCORE Baja 1000. Due to recent rains making livestock containment difficult, officials urged race teams to drive responsibly to avoid financial losses for local families caused by animal incidents.

By early November, the municipal government released the official schedule for the 59th edition of the race, titled “Cabo to Cabo.” This edition marks the first time the off-road event will both start and end in Los Cabos. The program includes pilot registration on November 9, technical inspections and festivities in Cabo San Lucas on November 10 and 11, and the official race start on November 13.

As of November 8, the municipality has intensified cleaning and beautification efforts in downtown Cabo San Lucas to prepare for the SCORE Baja 1000 Block Party. Public services personnel are performing manual and mechanical sweeping, alongside decorating pedestrian crossings and curbs, to accommodate an expected crowd of more than 10,000 fans. In San José del Cabo, cleaning campaigns involve coordination between municipal departments and security agencies, including the National Guard and the National Intelligence Center (CNI), to improve urban images and mitigate mosquito breeding.

On November 9, authorities announced security and mobility protocols to manage over 300 teams from more than 15 countries. Temporary closures are planned for the Santa Catarina, Las Ánimas, and Santa Rosa creek crossings. Víctor Manuel Montaño Gaytán, the municipal director of Public Relations, stated these crossings are expected to open for transit around 11:00 AM on Friday before closing at 8:00 PM. Additionally, Civil Protection will begin moving livestock away from routes on the night of November 12. Mayor Christian Agúndez Gómez urged the public to stay within designated spectator zones to ensure safety.
