El Diablo Run

May 2nd - 4th 2025

What started out eighteen years ago as a handful of bikers meeting up in Baja for tacos and beer has turned into a biennial occurrence with guys and girls from all over the world making their way down to San Felipe for a long weekend of riding and partying.

Mexico is now enforcing the need for an “FMM” Mexican Tourist Card. This is an old rule that we’ve usually just blown off for quick trips like the El Diablo Run. Those days are over for now and if you don’t want to get turned around at best or end up in jail and your bike disappeared, take the time to get one.

Here’s how it works, pull through the border crossing in Mexicali and walk back to the border area where there will be an office with a walk-up window. Go to that window with your passport and vehicle registration. The fee "should be" free for a 7-day FMM, but bring some Pesos just in case. We can’t predict whether you will be able to use a credit card or not and they obviously won’t want US dollars, so stop before the border and get some Pesos.

Once you get your FMM, keep it on you at all times. We have been told that there is a checkpoint near San Felipe where this is getting checked. It’s likely you’ll go through the hassle and expense and never have to show it, but what if that’s not the case? Welcome to Baja, and personal risk management.

You can get more info here, FMM MEXICAN TOURIST CARD, but we’ll warn you that online FMM’s have been unreliable according to some friends who live in Baja, and you'll still have to stop to have it stamped at the border.

There is no free camping or official location for lodging at EDR anymore. We outgrew that! Instead, we encourage Diablo Runners to:

  • Pay a small amount at Ruben’s Campo for beachfront camping on a first-come-first-served basis. Contact Aaron at Ruben's Campo: +52 686 125 6608
  • Kiki has two hotels, San Borja and Kiki's Resort, Kiki's Resort is also a campground. You can contact Kiki at: kikimr.baja@hotmail.com or +52 686 577 2021 
  • Use Air BNB, or other short term rental sites—the town fills up fast when EDR rolls in, and NOTHING in Baja is guaranteed

To show our appreciation for the years of friendship and hospitality to the town of San Felipe, the El Diablo Run now includes a special ride to Sonrise Hacienda, an orphanage for local children on the south end of town. To raise funds and awareness for this special cause, we’ll be hosting raffles and taking donations all weekend. If you join us on the next El Diablo Run, please plan to ride with us to Sonrise Hacienda Sunday morning to give these awesome kids a heavy dose of love, kindness, and custom motorcycles.

Yes, we recommend getting Mexican Insurance if you are coming from USA or Canada. We've personally used Baja Bound for years.
