About
The Farm MX is a long-running motocross and off-road facility at 7451 Nixon Street in Indianola, Warren County, Iowa, just south of Des Moines, long billed as a premier Midwest MX track with a technical layout of jumps, rhythm sections and sharp turns plus a wooded off-road course. Rather than running a fixed weekly schedule, it operates as an event-based venue, hosting MX open-practice days, motocross races, ATV and UTV/side-by-side racing, and off-road hare scrambles and sprint enduros (the off-road course is maintained by the Des Moines Enduro Riders Club). Signature events include the annual Halloween 'ScreamGamble' race weekend in late October and a Sunday bike hare scramble. Free camping is offered during events, with a $15 weekend / $10 Sunday gate fee (children 4 and under free).
