The Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya (MSFK) hosted Round 1 of the 2026 Kenya National Motocross Championship at Jamhuri MX Track, showcasing the power of collaboration in Kenyan motorcycling.
The event brought together Junior and Senior riders from across the country, marking a new chapter for the sport in the country.
The event is the result of collaboration between MSFK, its appointed promoter BladeDoc Network, Enduro and Motocross Sports Club; the managers of Jamhuri MX Track, affiliated clubs, parents and the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports – whose continued facilitation has been instrumental in bringing all parties together in the spirit of growing the sport for Kenya’s riders and athletes.
“This is what happens when we work together,” said Renzo Bernardi, President of MSFK. “Our riders are our purpose, and every decision we make is for them.”
The event featured nine competitive classes, from MX Peewee to VMX Masters, with riders showcasing their skills on the challenging Jamhuri MX Track. The provisional results saw top riders emerge, including Arie Maina Kamau, Zane Ngoru, and Kigen Mutuma, who dominated their respective classes.
“We are building a community, not just a championship,” said Julie Wahome, Sporting Director of MSFK. “MSFK is committed to building the systems and pathways that give every rider the chance to go as far as their talent takes them.”
The MSFK National Motocross Championship is also a qualifying round for the FIM Africa Motocross of African Nations (MXoAN) 2026, to be held in Namibia in August. MSFK is committed to sending a well-prepared team to Namibia and building on Kenya’s standing in continental motorcycling.
The event was a resounding success, with riders, officials, and spectators alike praising the organization and facilities. As Kenyan motorcycling looks to the future, one thing is clear – collaboration is key to success.
