Welcome to the Marlin Crawler Round-Up
The Marlin Crawler Round-Up is one of the largest Toyota-based 4WD events in the world. Held every fall on the world-famous Rubicon trail, the Round-Up has developed into the premiere trail-ride sponsor for the Rubicon Trail Foundation (RTF), a federally recognized non-profit organization dedicated to the future health of the Rubicon trail (see http://rubicontrail.org for more info).

Unique Customer Appreciation Experience
This event was first held in the fall of 2001 as a way for Marlin to thank his customers for their support and trust in his products. It was a simple, free event & included a BBQ lunch. After 2003, our appreciation was expanded to include the efforts of the Rubicon Trail Foundation. The event has seen tremendous growth ever since!

Each year participants from the Marlin Crawler Community take on the grueling 17-mile Rubicon trail on an epic journey to the beautiful and historic Springs Campground. Part of the uniqueness and excitement of the event is how members from our large online community forum come together for the first time, putting faces to usernames and getting to see Build Projects in person. The event has attracted forum members from as far away as Florida & Hawaii, as well as international members from Canada, Denmark, Germany, and Australia! But the event isn’t only for Marlin Crawler forum members and Toyota owners! Rigs of all bolt sizes are always on hand and are sure to turn heads! If your rig is Rubicon-capable, then please register today! We’d love to wheel the ‘Con with ya!

Come join the fun!
This Sept 19th we will be celebrating our 14th year of giving back to the Rock Crawling community. Whether you enter the trail from Loon Lake or from Tahoe Lake, get ready for an event to remember!

•   2.5-mile Nature Hike with Marlin Crawler •   Helicopter Rides (to be confirmed) •   Mechanics Repair Station

•   Horseshoe Tournament •   Frisbee Golf Tournament •   R/C Rock Crawl Competition

We are planning a delicious Tri-tip dinner, Award Ceremony, a RTF-benefiting Raffle, and a multi-item Grand Prize Marlin Crawler Raffle. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the RTF. To date, $75,235 has been raised and donated by this event to the Rubicon Trail!

Pro Tip: Saturday Night Exit Strategy:
Many choose to leave and night-wheel to either Buck Island or the top of Cadillac to set-up camp for the night. This makes for a FAR more relaxing and enjoyable Sunday exit. Even if you are not in a hurry Sunday morning, it is fun to get ahead and wave rigs farewell as they pass through. If you take this night-wheel'n suggestion, plan ahead to be sober at the end of the event before getting into your truck. Night-wheeling is a lot of fun but also challenging, especially through two of the harder parts of the Rubicon (Cadillac Hill or Big Sluice). Please be well prepared and extra patient. Don't risk an unnecessary late-night injury to yourself, your truck, or the trail because you were tired and it was dark. Remember you chose to night-wheel so respect and enjoy the extra challenges! In our opinion this is a highly fun way to add memories to the event and we strongly recommend caravaning for safety & support.

Sunday (Sept 20):

6a      Early birds get out relaxed with ease and with time to grab a rewarding lunch in Tahoe or Placerville.
8a      It's a traffic jam!
10a      If you are still in the springs at this time then we recommend waiting until 1pm to leave. Just relax, make a nice lunch, walk your campsite for any left behind trash, and enjoy the beautiful nature around you
         Have a safe time exiting the trail and driving back home!

Sunday Exit Strategy:
As mentioned above, because the Springs Campground is situated between two of the more difficult sections of all Rubicon, Cadillac Hill to the north and The Big Sluice to the south, traffic backs-up quickly. To make matters worse, there are multiple narrow sections such that if one truck breaks down then no one is moving until it's fixed. If this is your first time attending a Rubicon event of this magnitude then take note: The raffle will end after dark and the bonfire will still be kindling warm long after midnight. If you have a long drive to get home Sunday night then we implore you to be back on the trail before 6am. Be responsible with your time: Partying until 2am with your alarm clock set for 5am is a recipe for disaster.

me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously 

registration paid!  woohoo!

Last year was a blast although im not sure if im gonna make it this year. Started a new job and not sure if i will get time off work. But im hoping for the best!

I always have a blast at these round ups my vacation that i love taking hahaha
 

I tried  last Thursday and today and it just keeps saying you're busy.    I will try again tomorrow. 

Got through on the  this morning. I am paid and ready to go!

Registration list update?

Should be getting it soon, Mrs. Crawler just returned from the Texas Round-Up and AZ Rocks and will be updating the list for us soon

I cant wait!!   we haven't registered yet but will soon as we are finalizing our trip plans..    if there is room in the truck i might even bring the rc  rock crawler..      i am hoping we make it to the springs early this year so we can partake in the  Frisbee Golf Tournament,  Horseshoe Tournament and  2.5 mile Marlin Crawler Nature Hike..   due to technical difficulties we have't been able to get to do these things in the past..

we might bring some Canadian goodies to add to the prizes if we have room too!!!        Maple syrup anyone??       how about ketchup chips...?   oh, the suspense..   

Sounds like a plan!  Ketchup chips as part of the dinner!  Lol.  😝

Can the rubicon be done rolling on 33" tires?  I was thinking of adding another spartan locker to the rear and maybe some rcv axles up front. I already have the MC gears in the tcase.

List updated!

woohoo!  I'm on the list with my dad and cousin also.  going to be a great trip
