Driven MX Training

Driven MX Training in Berlin Center is Ohio's premiere training and practice facility, founded in 2010 by Clay Elliott. The property runs on virgin dirt with woods terrain that stays fresh, an unusual operational feature that distinguishes the venue from heavily-trafficked regional motocross tracks.

The virgin-dirt-and-woods-terrain operational design is the property's defining identity. Most regional Ohio tracks run on imported and continually-rebuilt dirt that accumulates hardpack characteristics over years of operation. Driven's natural-terrain approach maintains the riding character that makes northeast Ohio practice meaningful, the kind of varied surface and unpredictable terrain that builds real riding skill rather than rote feature memorization.

Operating schedule: Wednesday and Sunday open practice, plus daily training options through individual scheduling. The midweek Wednesday plus weekend Sunday pattern is the working access window, with the daily training option opening the property to riders working on dedicated coaching programs outside the general-access schedule.

Event programming is serious. Driven hosts Viva Ohio MX, the AMA-sanctioned Driven MX Series, and Motorcycle Education and Riding Program (MERP) support across the calendar. The AMA sanction signals championship-grade race-day operations, which matters for riders building toward state and regional points programming.

For local riders in northeast Ohio, Driven MX Training is the dedicated training-facility destination. Riders in Berlin Center, Canfield, Salem, Akron, Youngstown, Warren, and the broader Mahoning Valley region have closest geographic access. Pittsburgh area riders make the trip west into Ohio for the training programming and the AMA Driven MX Series racing weekends.
