WNY Hare Scramble Series2026

Western New York Hare Scramble Series

Fall off-road hare scramble series run by Empire State Motocross (ESMX), the promoter group behind Area 51, Pavilion MX and Sick Bros MX's closed-course points series. The hare scramble series is a separate four-round off-road companion to ESMX's spring/summer closed-course Ultra, Dual District and Battle series (run at the same clubs under different brand names and points structures). No AMA district card is required to enter. Rounds rotate one per club plus a finale on Hogback Hill Motocross's dedicated woods loop in Palmyra. Dates come from ESMX's own official 2026 season schedule (revised 1/18/26) and match what each venue publishes for its own round: Pavilion 10/4, Area 51 10/18, Palmyra/Hogback Hill 11/1. Sick Bros MX's own website carries a blanket notice that "All events for 2026 have been canceled," which reads as covering their own standalone Sick Bros-branded motocross program rather than the ESMX hare scramble round at their track. The ESMX master schedule still has Sick Bros hosting on 10/25/26, so treat that round as on until closer to the date.
