The second Annual MotoFest presented by Troy Lee Designs returns to Glen Helen Raceway May 14–17, 2026 for four action-packed days of festival-style racing. Held the weekend before the Outdoor Pro Motocross Nationals start, MotoFest sets the stage for the start of the pro season in a massive way.

With the biggest prize purse in all of motocross, elite pro racers, amateur championship battles, and entertainment for the whole family, MotoFest delivers one of the most exciting race weekends of the year. Experience the speed, the stakes, and the spectacle at Glen Helen as we kick off the 2026 Outdoor Pro Motocross season.

A BREAKDOWN OF THE FOUR DAYS OF RACING

It all starts on Thursday with practice, divided by skill levels. Thursday before the AMA National series starts is historically when the factory riders show up at Glen Helen to dial in their final outdoor settings for the upcoming National season. It’s always a show.

Friday will see more pro practice in the morning followed by the $30,000 Stopwatch National with the first moto at 10:30 a.m. and the second moto at 12:30 p.m. Then, at 2:00 p.m., Glen Helen will open its 8-mile cross-country course for the first races of the National Grand Prix Championship, round 6. At 4:00 p.m., the crowd will be treated to the Baja Drags.

It takes everything your bike has to get to the top of Glen Helen’s steep hills, but coming down the 22-story Mt. Saint Helen downhill doesn’t require anything but nerves of steel.

Once the gate drops, the racers face a 70-mph charge to the steeply banked first turn and a series of right/left/right/left sweepers before going up and down the 22-story hills. The 30-minute-plus-one-lap motos will be grueling.

A full schedule of NGPC races will take to the track on Saturday with a break at 9:15 for the first moto of the $70,000 Motofest 250/450 Pro showcase. The second moto will then take place at 12:15 p.m. with more NGPC racing in between. In the meantime, dual-sport riders will set off for the Troy Lee “Great Escape Dual-Sport ride.”The action keeps on going into the evening with the AME Minicross at 4:00 p.m. and the Hell On Wheels Hillclimb will feature hooligans racing to the top of Mt. St. Helens on their outlandish rides.

NGPC will wrap up its schedule on Sunday. If you can’t make it, the event will be live-streamed on Dirt Bike Magazine‘s YouTube channel. Check it out!
