Looking for a dirt bike destination where you can ride motocross as well as endurocross, trials and even flat-track? The city of Regina is home to an off-road motorcycle park that proudly boasts five different tracks and riding areas, so there’s something for every kind of rider—and the park is only minutes from the city. Below, you’ll find information about membership fees, upcoming events and the dirt bike club that looks after Moto Valley Raceway.
Local motocross track
Professional motocross racer Shawn Maffenbeier calls Regina’s Moto Valley Raceway his home track. It is designed, however, for riders of all ages with varying levels of experience. The park is situated in a river valley east of Regina, and it features a main motocross track and a scaled down version of it for the peewees. There is also an endurocross section, a trials riding area and a dirt oval track.

- Hours of operation: For members, the park is open all the time. Non-members can ride on Wednesdays from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
- Track passes: An annual membership costs $400, but there is a possible $200 rebate for those who participate in volunteer activities. For non-members, the Wednesday night rides are $20 per rider.

The Buzz
“We have lots of spectator parking and every year we have been adding more vendors (for the national race). The calibre of riders that have been coming through the national circuit has been pretty crazy. Every year, it seems to be growing. And the club in general is growing. Some years, we have lots of young people and then they drop off, and it get slow. But we’re on the upswing now.” — Dean Murphy, vice-president of the Regina Motocross Club and the event co-ordinator for the Rockstar Energy Drink Motocross Nationals in Regina.
