MORGANTOWN, West Virginia—MX Sports, the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and FIM North America are excited to partner together and announce the FIM North America Continental Motocross Championship; a series of two events in 2022 that will allow riders to compete in Canada and the United States. The first event will be held on September 10 and 11 at Motopark in Chatsworth, Ontario Canada, and the second event will be held on October 1 and 2 at High Point Raceway in Mt. Morris, Pennsylvania.

Riders will be able race both events with the hopes of earning FIM North America Continental Championship honors.

Additional Support Classes will be available at both events.

“This promises to be a unique opportunity for Canadian and American riders to compete head-to-head.” said MX Sports’ Jared Bolton. “It’s been common to see professional racers from the United States racing the Canadian series, and vice-versa, but it’s rare to see this happen in amateur racing. The goal here is to open up opportunities for riders to not only compete for championship honors but visit new locations and meet new people along the way!”
