DADE CITY – Thrill-seekers will be returning to Dade City next month for Red Bull Day in the Dirt Down South.
Hundreds of motocross competitors across the U.S. will ride into Florida’s Sports Coast following Daytona Bike Week. Riders of all backgrounds and skill levels, from amateur to pro, are invited to register and ride.
Organizers tout the weekend of March 6 to 8 as a non-stop party. Here’s what to expect:
- Three full days of racing across multiple classes and formats, from GP-style racing to team competition. This year’s lineup includes a Pit Bike Race, a Head-to-Head Drag Race and the return of the Coup de Grace Survival Race, where victory is crossing the finish line. Riders who complete five events will be awarded the Ironman, with the overall event winner earning the honor of destroying the majestic sand sculpture.
- They’ll ride at Dade City MX. This year’s track features first-ever elements like an enduro line, presented by Florida Trail Riders, and a burnout pad incorporated into the race course.
- Amateur riders get to shred alongside some of the biggest names in the sport, including Red Bull athletes Carson Brown, Tyler Bereman, Kelana Humphrey and Tarah Gieger. Athletes will also be available for meet and greets.
- A live recording of “Bonifay Banter” podcast, as Red Bull athletes Tyler Bereman and Parks Bonifay reunite for a panel revisiting Island Hopper, the legendary freeriding stunt that took place on Florida’s Sports Coast.
- Weekend festivities include a barn party on Friday evening and a Supercross watch party on Saturday night.
- Stark Future, a leader in electric motorcycles, will host bike demos throughout the weekend.
