Two Separate Tracks
Both tracks were rebuilt and upgraded in 2022, and both get worked on between every event.
Where Columbia Riders Come To Race
Riders from Columbia have a short list of places worth trailering to. McLarty MX Park makes it because of the dirt: sandy loam mixed our own way, so it keeps its shape through the day instead of baking into a freeway.

The Surface
What Makes This Track Different
Sandy loam is the whole point. It drains after a shower, it takes a rip, and it gives you grip where you expect to be sliding. That is why riders trailer past closer tracks to get here.
Directions
How Far Is It From Columbia?
Most people turn this into an overnight. Come in Friday, camp at the track, and be signed in before gates on Saturday rather than driving at daybreak.
Set your GPS to 4015 County Highway 35, Horton, AL 35980 and it will bring you straight to the gate. From Columbia you are heading generally south.
On The Gate
Racers, Families And First-Timers
Bring the family. From most spots in the pits you can watch something like seventy percent of the track, which is exactly what a parent wants when their nine year old is out there.
Prepped Before You Roll In
The track is watered and ripped before gates open, and it gets worked through the day on race days.
You Can See The Whole Thing
The layout sits in an open field, so from most spots in the pits you can watch about 70 percent of the track. Parents love it.
Before You Come
A Few Things To Sort Out First
Look at the schedule, then load the bike. Riders sign in at the tower when they arrive and pay at the gate - under 18 needs a parent or legal guardian signature.

Questions From Columbia Riders
How far is McLarty MX Park from Columbia, TN?
The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 105 miles north of Columbia in a straight line. Because of the river and the lake, the road route can be noticeably longer - the map on this page shows the real driving distance and time from Columbia.
Is there a motocross track near Columbia?
McLarty MX Park is the one most Columbia riders end up at. It is a couple of hours on the road away in Horton, with two prepped sandy loam tracks and announced race and practice days.
What kind of dirt is the track?
Sandy loam - Alabama red clay mixed with our own blend of wood shavings. It holds moisture, keeps traction, and stops the track turning into a dust bowl.
What classes do you run?
Mini E and 51cc through 65, 85, Supermini, Schoolboy, Girls, Women, 250, Open, College Boy and the 25, 35 and 45 plus classes. The exact list for a given weekend depends on the series running.
Is the park open every weekend?
No. We open on announced dates only. Check the schedule page before you load up - it lists every date we have on the books along with any weather notices.
Are pit bikes allowed?
No. Pit bike riding is not permitted anywhere on the property. That rule gets enforced.
