The final round of the MSFK National Enduro Championship brought together 90 riders: 🔹 56 Adults 🔹 34 Juniors
Riders tackled a demanding course, especially in the Gold and Silver categories, with Saturday’s Senior race cut slightly short due to heavy rain and safety concerns on rocky hill sections.
The weekend wrapped up with prize-giving ceremonies, a BBQ, and the presentation of annual awards. Juniors raced on Sunday morning, followed by their prize-giving immediately after.
A big thank you to all the riders, sponsors, and officials who made this a memorable season! Special mention to our team members who earned their FIM Africa licenses earlier this year, strengthening the team’s capabilities.
Here’s to a fantastic 2024 Enduro season – see you next year!
Motocross (MX) trainer Andre Dearden has arrived in the country to conduct Training the Trainers (TTT) for Kenyan off-road motorcycling sport instructors and coaches.
The training will take place at the Jamhuri MX Track on September 13,14 and 15.
This visit has been made possible by the Women in Motorcycling Commission of FIM Africa and also through the support of Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (FIM).
The program is focused on enhancing the level of training and skill development of women in the sport both as trainers and riders.
The “Training of off-road trainers programme” is primarily aimed at educating and training more trainers on the African continent in developing motorcycling skills and coaching young riders and women in the sport.
The Training will also equip FIM member countries to be able to continue nurturing and developing new talent from grassroots level, and indeed promoting some of our top riders as trainers.
The programme is open to all qualified trainers in addition to the women who have been selected to attend.
Immediately following the this visit to Kenya, Andre will proceed to Uganda to conduct similar training as part of a programme that will see several African nations receive the same training under this programme.
This training comes hot off the heels of the FIM MX GP Academy held in Kenya at the beginning of August.
Organised by the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya,the objective of the federation is to continue to uplift the standard of local coaches, trainers and athletes with the aim of growing the number of participants across the country involved in motorcycling sport and increasing the standard of riding across the board.
Andre who is responsible for training some of the most successful riders on the African continent will also take the opportunity while he is in Kenya to conduct some training for the the Kenya MX team in preparation for the upcoming MX of African Nations which will be held in Morocco in October, 2024. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
The event follows last month’s training in which Kenya hosted the MXGP Academy for the first time on the weekend of August 2-4.
The MXGP Academy is a worldwide project started 2015 in collaboration with MTC (the Motocross Training Club), the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) and the local FMNs (national motorsport federations) – including the Motorcycle Sports Federation of Kenya.

The MXGP Academy continued its 2024 activities with a three-day training session running from 02-04 August at Amhuri racetrack in Nairobi – Kenya where sixteen local riders were in attendance and received instruction from thirteen MX Trainers.
The training event for youngsters included:
• 2 x 45-minute track sessions. • Riders’ education to obtain the MX-A certificate. • Parents education: workshop “How to communicate with an MX rider.”
Further European sessions are planned on dates still to be decided at Madrid in Spain and Riga in Latvia. In addition, another overseas MXGP Academy is scheduled for 15-17 November in Thailand, Asia. A third overseas MXGP Academy is also scheduled for Columbia, Latin America, on a date to be announced.
Supported by the FIM and MXGP promoter Infront Moto Racing, the MXGP Academy aims to give young Motocross racers professional training and development opportunities while providing education resources and guidance for their parents and trainers.
This past weekend on 3rd June, Women Biker’s Association Kenya partnered with Miti Alliance to celebrate World Environment Day with motorcycle enthusiasts and fellow bikers.
This is the third year in a row that they have travelled to Naromoru tree museum and we can see the change in the environment.
