Route 3 Racing Club motorsports initiatives

Overview

The Route 3 Racing Club, a non-profit organization in Greenwood, aims to increase motorsports accessibility by providing free motard racing for children, youth, and adults. The club offers training sessions, race events, and demo days to participants ranging from age 12 to 60.

Following its fifth Annual Motard and Music Festival held on September 12 and 13, organizers reported nearly 30 participants with ages ranging from 7 to 64. Despite rain during the event, founder Angus MacNeil emphasized that the club operates out of a passion to provide youth with access to a sport that is often “financially inaccessible.” MacNeil noted the club is unique in North America for offering free racing to both children and adults.

Moving forward, the club is seeking sponsors to fund rider travel and plans to implement track improvements, including an extension of the racing surface.
