Supercross
Thursday, July 16th, 2026
3:00pm Sign-Up Starts
5:00pm Practice Starts
7:00pm Races Start
Supercross is a racing sport where participants ride dirt bikes and 4-wheelers over rough terrain and hit big jumps on a short track. The courses have different obstacles for the riders. No two courses are alike, and that can make supercross more demanding than other racing sports. Supercross is enjoyed all over America, from hometown tracks to the annual professional events. This race will feature fast local talent, beginners with big dreams and weekend warriors who just want to have a good time with their friends. You won't want to miss watching dirtbikes fly through the air and race to the finish line!
Super Farmer Competition

Show us what you got! Calling all Super Farmers!
Teams are $50/team of two and will compete against other teams to stack bales, catch a greased pig, wheelbarrow obstacle course, tire flipping, stake driving and more! Everyone is welcome to participate!
