About Desoto BMX

 

DeSoto BMX is a not-for-profit BMX track designed to bring BMX to youth and adults from all over the DFW Metroplex and beyond.

With 72,000 square feet of space under one roof, DeSoto BMX is America’s first covered facility designed exclusively to host race events of all sizes. Conveniently located in southwest Dallas County, it has become well-known for hosting some of the largest BMX events.

Since opening in 1999, DeSoto BMX has been the home of the USA BMX Super Nationals. The three-day event draws more than 1,800 participants every year. Riders include amateurs, professionals and Olympians from all over the world.  The Super Nationals was held in March of 2021 and did not disappoint with over 5,000 spectators and riders from 40 states and 7 different countries.  The National brought 306 motos on Saturday alone!  We look forward to the national each year.

In addition, DeSoto BMX annually hosts a Texas State Championship qualifier event, an annual Leukemia Society Race for Life, an annual Free-1 day Race for all new participants during USA BMX National Week. In all, the facility hosts more than 90 district races each year.

 

DeSoto BMX has hosted the USA Cycling National Championship and Gold Cup Finals three times.  The USA Collegiate World Championships returned to Desoto in April 2019 and it paired with the Super Nationals!  

In 2014, DeSoto BMX hosted the first Collegiate National BMX Racing Championship. This event featured college recruiters offering scholarships to some of the fastest amateurs and professional riders for college cycling teams.

DeSoto BMX is open for racing practice every Monday and Wednesday night with racing clinics held on Tuesday and Thursday(see calendar for coaching events and clinics, these are not held each week), and races every Friday and Saturday. See the calendar for race details and contact information.

DeSoto Residents practice for free with a current USA BMX membership, $80.  All DeSoto Residents must pay for racing.  Every rider that comes to Desoto BMX for the first time will get a free- one day membership to try it out.  The practice fee is waived too.  Then, a rider must get a membership to ride and race after the first time.  Just ask Rich (or Roxann) Backer or a track volunteer at the sign up both for more information.

DeSoto BMX is located in the City of DeSoto in the southwest corner of Dallas County at the intersection of Interstate Highways 20 and 35E. Interstate Highways 30 and 45 are just a few miles away. A variety of hotels, motels and RV parks provide accommodations at all price ranges and there are endless dining choices in the area.
