505 Offroad is a tight-knit New Mexico offroad community built around trail runs, meetups, and responsible recreation. We’ve been active for over two years and currently have around 20 members.
Our Story
505 Offroad began as 505 Rados, originally centered around the Colorado platform. The group was founded by Archie, Abby, and Francisco, starting simply as a small group of friends who loved getting out on the trail. What began as weekend runs between friends quickly grew as we kept meeting awesome people who shared the same passion for offroading and the outdoors.
As more drivers joined, it became clear that we weren’t just building a Colorado group we were building a broader offroad community open to all types of rigs and experience levels. Over the past two years, we’ve expanded into a tight-knit club of approximately 20 active members who value preparation, communication, and mutual respect.
As we grew, so did our involvement in the offroad scene. We’ve sponsored giveaways, supported veteran-focused events, and participated in major gatherings such as Overland Expo volunteering our time and representing brands we believe in.
Today, 505 Offroad represents more than just trail runs. It’s a community built on growth, shared experiences, and strong friendships. Francisco currently serves as the group president, helping guide the club’s direction, organize events, and maintain the culture that defines 505 Offroad
What We’re About
505 Offroad was created to bring together people who enjoy getting off the pavement and into the mountains, deserts, and backcountry of the Southwest. We’re not focused on being the biggest club — we’re focused on building a strong, dependable community of drivers who support each other on and off the trail.
We welcome all experience levels, from those just getting started with a stock 4×4 to seasoned drivers with fully built rigs. Our goal is to create an environment where people can learn, grow their skills, and explore new terrain with confidence.
Because we’re a smaller group, we stay connected. Communication is clear, expectations are set before each run, and members look out for one another when obstacles get technical or conditions get tough. We believe that a successful trail day isn’t just about finishing the route it’s about teamwork, preparation, and making sure everyone gets home safely.
Above all, 505 Offroad is about respect respect for the trail, respect for other drivers, and respect for the community we represent.
