Interesting! I have never really been a race fan, but I think I will plan to be around for that one.
When do they usually post the course they will be using?
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!
"Could do better if he tried!" Report card comments from most of my grade school teachers. Sadly, still true!

Cabo will be rocking, BIG TIME.
I'll find a spot in the desert to watch. Maybe at a pit stop.

About a month before the race. However, it wouldn't surprise me if some hints come out much sooner.

It was interesting that they used 'Los Cabos' and not one of the two cities. Perhaps they don't yet know, or maybe it will be between the two, outside
of the cities? The recent Baja 400 race actually began and ended outside of Ensenada but there was a ceremonial start in town then they drove at legal
speeds to the restart at Rancho Nelson. Too many people in the city that are too close to the racers, for safety.

Shades of the 2015 Baja Sur 500, a very fun race. For race teams, logistics will be even more of a challenge than a "basic" 1000 point-to-point race.

Just saw this video and it seems to say that the Baja 1000 will start and finish in San José del Cabo. It will run through all the municipalities of
Baja California Sur, but would not go as far north as Guerrero Negro: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1276093793844911/
