King of the Hammers is an off-road racing event held each winter on the dry lakebed of Johnson Valley, California. Run by Hammerking Productions, it pairs high-speed desert racing with technical rock crawling across eight competitive classes, headlined by the Race of Kings. For the run of the event, competitors and spectators occupy a temporary encampment known as Hammertown. KOH began in 2007 with 12 teams and now draws hundreds of entrants over a two-week schedule.
