About The Sand Track
The Sand Track is a private motocross park on Moehlman Road, about three miles south of Manhattan, Kansas, in the Flint Hills. It is managed by the Flint Hills Enduro Motorcycle Club and it has become a regional draw for riders across northeast Kansas despite its small size. The property holds a motocross track, a dedicated cornering track and a small endurocross section, and it is open seven days a week to members and guests.
A Club Track, Not a Public Park
The most important thing to understand about The Sand Track is that it is not open to the general public. Riding here requires a membership or a guest pass. The track offers yearly memberships, family memberships and day passes, and arrangements are made directly through the club rather than through a gate attendant on race day.
That structure is what keeps the place what it is. Instead of a high volume public park, it operates as a rider community with a track that gets used and maintained by the people who ride it. Regulars ride weekend after weekend, many of them with their kids, and several families based here run the Kansas Motocross Championship Series together.
What You Can Ride
The main motocross track runs across sandy terrain with hills, jumps and bermed corners. The separate cornering track is the feature that sets the property apart. Having a dedicated area for corner work means riders can drill turns repeatedly without holding up a session on the main track, which is the single fastest way to improve lap times for a developing rider.
The endurocross section is small but it adds a technical element that most motocross parks do not offer, giving riders a place to work on slow speed balance, obstacles and traction.
The club allows all dirt bikes. ATVs are permitted on approval rather than automatically, so check before you load a quad.
Open Ride Days and Community
Several times a year the club hosts open ride days paired with cookouts. These are the best entry point for anyone who has not ridden here before and wants to see the property, meet the regulars and understand how membership works.
The family element is central to how the place runs. Parents ride with their children, and the track functions as much as a weekend gathering spot as a training facility. That atmosphere is the reason riders drive in from well beyond Manhattan.
Getting There and Getting Access
The track sits about three miles south of Manhattan on Moehlman Road, in Riley County. Manhattan is on US 24 and K-18 in the Flint Hills of northeast Kansas, roughly two hours west of Kansas City.
Because this is a private club facility, there is no published schedule page and no ticket booth. Access is arranged through the track's Facebook page, where the managers respond to riders directly about memberships, day passes and open ride dates. Message before you haul.
