Profile

What riders find here.

Budds Creek Motocross Park in Mechanicsville, Maryland is one of the most iconic motocross venues in American motocross, the longtime AMA Pro Motocross National Championship venue for the mid-Atlantic, drawing 20,000+ spectators every August for one of the most beloved rounds on the calendar. Located in St. Mary's County in southern Maryland, Budds Creek has hosted AMA 125, 250, and 500 Nationals plus three World Championships across its decades of operation, making it one of the most decorated motocross venues on the East Coast. The track is what makes Budds Creek special: classic American natural-terrain motocross, with a perfect blend of rolling hills, real elevation changes, off-camber corners, and the deep, tacky Maryland topsoil that develops killer ruts the deeper into a moto you go. There's nothing manufactured about this track, every section flows out of the natural land, exactly the way American motocross was meant to be ridden. Budds Creek is also the home track of the Mid-Atlantic Motocross Association and the AMA's preferred facility in District 7, meaning regional racing happens here nearly every weekend through the season. Outside the marquee Pro National in August, you'll find amateur racing, district events, and open practice, basically the full spectrum of American motocross on a single property. Extensive on-site camping, full concessions, real restrooms with showers, the Pro National infrastructure stays in place even on regular weekends. Located in southern Maryland approximately 90 minutes south of Washington DC and 90 minutes south of Baltimore, easy day-trip access from anywhere in the DC/Baltimore metro, plus reasonable drives from Northern Virginia, Delaware, and southeastern Pennsylvania. If you ride motocross anywhere in the mid-Atlantic, riding Budds Creek is a non-negotiable rite of passage. The Pro National weekend specifically is one of the great American motocross experiences, the Maryland summer humidity, the trees lining the back side of the track, the hill straight after the start gate, and the kind of crowd that's been coming back to Budds Creek for generations. Bucket-list track, end of story.
