The dates and venue are confirmed for the 2023 KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX), with the country’s top junior riders to battle it out between 11-16 July at the Alice Springs Motorcycle Club.

The announcement marks the first time in over 30 years that the club has hosted the event, with details surrounding the 2023 AJMX in the Northern Territory available on the 2023 KTM AJMX Facebook page.

“It’s fantastic to have both KTM and the Alice Springs Motorcycle Club get behind this jewel in the crown of Australian motocross,” said Motorcycling Australia’s CEO Peter Doyle. “We’ve seen so many great Australian racers win at AJMX and it is a great form guide for the future.

“The 2023 event being held in Alice Springs will be as unique as it is exciting. Truly a central location for all competitors, The Alice will surely deliver an incredible 2023 AJMX and we wish all involved the very best.”

After the AJMX was cancelled for two consecutive years due to covid, the 2022 edition of the event took place at Rockhampton and saw a range of emerging talent elevate and lay it all on the line in a bid to become one of the national champions crowned.
