Darwin is revving up for one of the biggest sporting events of the year – and you don’t want to miss it. The MXGP of the Northern Territory is making history as the first-ever FIM Motocross World Championship round to hit the Top End, and it’s all happening at Hidden Valley Raceway this September.

From 15–25 September 2025, Darwin will transform into a haven for motocross fans as the world's top riders hit the track with high-flying stunts, tight turns, and plenty of dirt-fuelled drama. And the best way to experience it? Combine the thrill of race day with a relaxing, resort-style escape just minutes from the action.
