Travel Notes For Murfreesboro Riders

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.

Most riders from Murfreesboro come in via I-24 west, then I-65 south. Put the address in your phone and it will take you the rest of the way.

The Surface

About The Surface You Will Ride

Alabama red clay on its own goes greasy wet and concrete dry. Cut with wood shavings it does neither, which is how we keep a rideable surface from gates open to the last checkered flag.

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.

Questions From Murfreesboro Riders

How far is McLarty MX Park from Murfreesboro, TN?

The park is at 4015 County Highway 35 in Horton, Alabama, roughly 115 miles north of Murfreesboro 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 Murfreesboro.

Is there a motocross track near Murfreesboro?

McLarty MX Park is the one most Murfreesboro 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.

Can I camp at the track?

Yes. Camping is welcome with no ground fires anywhere on the property. Front row RV spots with power and water hookups can be reserved by text.

What happens if it rains?

Sandy loam drains well, so light rain often does not stop us. If weather does force a change, we post it at the top of every page on this website and on our Facebook page.

Do I need to sign up before I come?

No. There is no membership and no pre-registration. Sign in at the tower when you arrive and pay at the gate. Riders under 18 need a parent or legal guardian signature.

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.
