About Bismarck Motocross Association
The Bismarck Motocross Association runs The Rock, Bismarck's local motocross track at the Missouri Valley Complex just east of the state penitentiary in Bismarck, North Dakota. The volunteer club maintains one of North Dakota's premier motocross facilities and hosts rounds of the North Dakota Motocross Association racing series, drawing riders from across the state and the region.
The Rock MX Track
The main track is a watered and groomed motocross and supercross style course packed with doubles, step ups, tabletops, triples and rockers, launched from a real starting gate. Alongside the big track there is a separate practice and 50cc track for younger riders, so families can turn laps together. Dirt bikes are the main event, with ATVs welcome too, and the pit area has plenty of room for haulers, campers and trailers.
Riding and Racing
Bismarck Motocross riders race as part of the North Dakota Motocross Association series, which rotates two day race weekends between Bismarck, Mandan, Dickinson, Jamestown and Glen Ullin through the summer. The club also runs the Mandan Motocross track across the river, and off race weekends The Rock is open for practice with single rider day passes and annual memberships available through the club website.
Day Passes and Memberships
Riders can buy a single day pass or an annual membership online. Day riders pick up the gate key arrangement through Full Throttle Motorsports in Bismarck, and the club posts practice days, track prep updates and schedule changes on its Facebook group, so check before you haul.
Getting There
The Rock sits on the northeast side of the Missouri Valley Complex fairgrounds off East Bismarck Expressway in Bismarck, North Dakota, a few minutes from Interstate 94 and downtown Bismarck.
Know Before You Go
Bismarck Motocross runs on volunteer power, so track prep, gate times and practice windows can shift with the weather and race calendar. Full riding gear is required, including an MX helmet, and young riders on the 50cc track should always have an adult nearby. If you are new to the sport, race weekends are a great first visit, with bleacher style viewing close to the biggest jumps and a pit area where you can see the bikes and talk with riders between motos. Bring water, sunscreen and ear protection in the summer months, and check the club Facebook group the night before you haul to confirm the track is open.
