  • We know and love the previous method of “sending in a check” for registration for the Santa Fe 500 in years past. Going forward, we’ve decided to move our registration to an online format to better custom-tailor the event to participants’ discerning standards. If you require or desire in-person registration, please email us.

  • Great! We’re always looking for ways to improve. Please email us at info@santafe500.com and we’ll get back to you.
