Madesa MX Motocross Track is located within the scenic Assiniboine Valley and was built with spectators in mind. This new track on the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Motocross circuits hosts a number of events throughout the summer.
Riders enjoy the only track in Canada with a mesh starting gate during competitions while spectators are able to see 95% of the track from the built-up grandstand, making this track an ideal stop this summer. For the Provincial Championship races, the Smoked & Sauced Food Truck will be on-site.
The track is open to prep tracked ride days for competitors to practice, but you can also contact the track owner about experiencing Motocross for yourself.
With over 300 riders, this exciting new sport in our area is one to experience.
