Event Details
The 28th running of the KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX) is heading to Shepparton from 28 September to 3 October 2026.
The Greater Shepparton City Council, in partnership with the Goulburn Valley Junior Motorcycle Club, will host the KTM Australian Junior Motocross Championship (AJMX) in both 2026 and 2027.
With continued support from KTM Australia, upwards of 300 riders – and a much higher machine count – will contest the 2026 AJMX across 12 championship classes, spanning from the entry-level 50cc auto category up to 15-year-olds on 250cc four-stroke machinery. There are also two dedicated classes for girls.
A multitude of new champions will be crowned at the 2026 KTM AJMX as past winners move into higher age brackets. Furthermore, the KTM AJMX is often the spicy culmination of fierce rivalries that have been brewing in the MX65 Futures, MX85, MX3 and MXW classes in the ProMX Championship, which in 2026 will finish on August 2.
Accommodation is well catered for in Greater Shepparton with a choice of quality motels, hotels, cabins, caravan parks and Air BNB establishments.

Historic Legacy
The AJMX was inaugurated in 1997, and a dazzling array of young guns have taken to the gates since then.
The roll call includes Chad Reed, Toby Price, Jett Lawrence, Hunter Lawrence, Courtney Duncan and Danielle McDonald, while a slew of other current-day motorcycle racing stars have also cut their teeth in the AJMX.
