Youth rider event returns to the Pahrump OHV Park October 17

Pahrump’s young off-road enthusiasts are in for a treat. The Youth Rider Event is making its return to the Pahrump OHV Park on Friday, October 17, running from 3 p.m. until dusk.

This fun-filled event is geared toward youth riders with small off-road vehicles like dirt bikes, electric bicycles, and quads under 125cc.

Kids will have the chance to ride in a safe, supervised environment while enjoying the thrill of the track and the camaraderie of fellow riders.

Location

To get to the park, head down Highway 160, turn onto Dandelion Street, then take a right on Ironwood Avenue. Follow the road to the end, and look for the parking lot – you’ll know you’re in the right place when you see helmets and happy kids.

Must Haves

■ Helmets are required

■ Valid Nevada OHV stickers are needed for all vehicles (Need help? Organizers can assist with a “One Time Hall Pass” and sticker info)

■ Youth riders only, on vehicles under 125cc

Volunteers Needed

Events like this thrive with community support. Organizers are looking for volunteers to help with flagging, guiding riders, and keeping things running smoothly.
