The 48th Three Flags Classic Start Banquet will be on August 26, 2026 at the Prestige Hotel and Resort in Nelson, BC, Canada.  

The Coral & Marina Hotel in Ensenada, Baja California is a 5 star luxury hotel that is hosting the 48th Three Flags Classic Start Get Together in 2026.  This hotel also is the host hotel for the Baja 1000 motorcycle event.  Motorcycle riding is very popular in Baja and the hotel is happy to welcome the SCMA riders to their hotel.  Of course, it has indoor and outdoor pools, patio areas with food and beverage service, with breakfast included in your room rate. 

The hotel is an hour and a half ride from the Tijuana or Tecate border crossings.  The Mexican 1D toll road from Tijuana is on the coast while the Tecate road weaves thought the mountains and wine country on Mexican HWY 3.

The hotel has reserved parking for us in the same location as the Baja 1000 event behind the hotel.  

On Wednesday August 26, 2026, we will welcome you in the “Map Room” and give you your wristbands for the Get Together Banquets you purchased and instructions on where to take pictures if you are participating in the self guided 3FC tour.  You will need the pictures if you plan on requesting the 3FC Belt Buckles for completing your tour. The Map room at the hotel is where you hang out and can meet other riders to compare and discuss the various routes people are planing to the 3FC Finish Get Together in Nelson. 

The Banquet is on Wednesday evening with happy hour starting at 6pm. The Banquet will start at 7pm with an outstanding buffet you are sure to enjoy.  Thursday August 27 is a rest and recovery day with optional activities to be announced later.  The hotel is a short ride into Ensenada city center and many restaurants and other things to see.

We highly recommend SCMA members/riders leave no earlier than sunrise on Friday morning to start their tours or to return home via the Tijuana or Tecate border crossings.  More information will be coming regarding planning your ride.

We haven’t hosted an SCMA 3FC event in Ensenada in many years.  You will thank your lucky stars that you attended this 3FC Get Together event seeing your friends, making new ones and enjoying a relaxing time in Ensenada.
