2026 Announcements
Oregon Lightweight Moto will continue to be the host for mini sprint racing in the Pacific Northwest.
Rules for the Endurance Challenge in 2026 will remain substantially the same, with the current three classes of Formula 125, Formula Middleweight, and Open Mini.
Endurance Challenge events will be single events, not part of a multi-race championship. Our 2024 season champions will continue to have the right to carry their earned numbers in endurance competition.
What is Mini Moto and The Mini Endurance Challenge?
What is Mini Moto and The Mini Endurance Challenge?
NorthWest Mini Moto is a motorcycle road racing series for minibikes, mini motards, and scooters. NWMM puts on endurance events 2-3 times a year in eastern Washington and Oregon.
At the heart of NWMM is the endurance challenge. Endurance racing offers unique challenges and growth opportunities for riders. Team strategy, pit strategy, maintenance, and consistency are all important to win an endurance race, and riders on the team will get as much racing seat time in one event as they do in an entire season of sprint racing.
If you're interested in sprint races, Oregon Lightweight Moto will be hosting sprint races and practice days in 2025 and beyond.
