The Hammerhead Roundup takes place in what can only be described as the ultimate aerobatic box. Permanently surface-waivered and constructed to exceed even the stringent CIVA standards, this arena is ready to host world championships and is practically a marvel visible from space. Located conveniently next to a 5,000-foot runway, with the judging line in close proximity, it ensures that all the high-flying action is centered right in Borrego Springs, where the thrill of the competition meets the warmth of community spirit.

It's an opportunity to unwind in a setting that promises both luxury and the unassuming charm of desert hospitality.
