Crandon World Championships 2026

With a legacy of more than 55 years, the annual Polaris Crandon World Championship has become an off-road tradition in the Midwest.  

Each year, off-road racers converge in Northern Wisconsin at Crandon (lovingly known as "The Big House") to tackle its legendary dirt course—the longest and fastest short-course track—and compete for the title of Crandon World Champion. The four-day event features a variety of races across classes and categories, including the Red Bull Crandon World Cup. Also known as the “Superbowl of Short Course,” the World Cup features a day of pro-category off-road races similar to the Indianapolis 500 or Daytona 500.  

The event attracts around 60,000 fans who gather at Camp Crandon for a combination of camaraderie, racing and food—what’s become known as the “Crandon Experience.” It all builds towards the Crandon World Championships, featuring over 400 Pro and Sportsman AMSOIL Championship Off-Road (COR) series teams and different classes of the Ultra4 racing series.
