Motorcross

Motorcross (MX) is off-road motorcycle racing on a closed circuit. Motocross circuits are constructed on a variety of non-tarmac surfaces such as dirt, sand, mud, grass, etc., and tend to incorporate elevation changes, either natural or artificial.

Advances in motorcycle technology, especially suspension, have led to the predominance of circuits with added "jumps" on which riders can become airborne. Motorcross has another noticeable difference from road racing, in that starts are done “en masse”, with the riders alongside each other.

Racing is over a set amount of time or laps, with the winner crossing the line first. A race Championship compromises of various classes determined by cylinder capacity and rider’s age.

Motorcross Racing is for anyone from 5 years upwards.

In Kenya, East African Motor Sports Club (EAMSC) is the largest MX club.  The MSFK hosts a series of 8 to 9 events per annum to form the National MX Championship.  In addition to these events, FIM Africa holds one continental event – MX of African Nations (MXoAN) which takes place in a  different country every year.  FIM Africa Regional Events, in  East Africa – in the recent past Kenya and Uganda are the key competitors in the FIM Africa Central Africa Challenge (CAC).  We are looking forward to welcoming competitors from other member countries of the East African Community.
