Unadilla
New Berlin, NY
“The place to race since 1969,” upstate New York’s Unadilla MX is one of America’s original motocross tracks, hosting the biggest events in sport history, including USGPs, the Motocross of Nations, Pro Motocross, and more. A truly European layout with Woodstock vibes, the former dairy farm lies within the Unadilla River Valley, six miles north of the town of New Berlin and between Syracuse and Albany. Unadilla is an Iroquois word that means “place of meeting.”
Fast Facts
Venues
Laid out within 55 green acres of upstate New York farm land, Unadilla MX was once famous for kicking off race weekends on a completely grass covered course, the result of the track going untouched for an entire year. Originally called the Unadilla Valley Sports Center, the facility hosted Trans AMA races before the AMA Pro Motocross Championship even existed and has run a bit of everything since 1969, including the 1987 Motocross of Nations, the first time the event was held in the United States.
Ward Robinson bought the land in 1968 after seeing an Inter-AM motocross in Pepperell, Mass. and he held his first race the following year. The layout used today is close to Ward Robinson’s original vision of a natural Euro-style course and even still has many of the original track features, such as Gravity Cavity and The Wall (originally called ‘Screw U’).
A second generation of Robinsons (Jill and Greg) run the venue, which now features the Skyshot, a 150-ft. tabletop jump that catapults riders to the center of the course.
