601 VC Jeep Stampede 2026

Historic Roads. High Desert. Legendary Town.

The 601 VC Jeep Stampede is a one-of-a-kind historic Jeep event set in one of the most legendary towns in the American West.

A scenic Jeep run.
Followed by an epic, Jeep-only show.

Against the backdrop of wooden boardwalks, rugged mining roads, and the wide-open Nevada high desert, Jeep owners, families, and supporters come together for a day of adventure, heritage, and community pride.

Participants will experience a memorable ride celebrating the spirit of exploration that built the Comstock Lode and shaped the American frontier. The route winds through dramatic mountain passes, historic silver-mining roads, ancient rock carvings dating back to the 1800s, and open terrain where wild horses still roam.

After the Jeep run from Sparks to Virginia City, the Official Stampede Show Grounds open — STRICTLY JEEPS.

The streets of historic Virginia City transform into the Official Stampede Show Grounds for one unforgettable day.

American-made greatness on full display:

• Full-Size Jeeps
• Wranglers
• Wagoneers
• Cherokees
• Gladiators
• Renegades

Giddy-up.

More Than a Jeep Event

This isn’t just about driving serious rigs.

The Jeep Stampede supports preservation efforts, community initiatives, and charitable causes connected to Virginia City and the mission of the 601 Vigilance Committee.

Every registration helps protect, preserve, and strengthen the Comstock community.

Adventure with purpose.
