2022 marks the KTM Junior Supercross Challenge’s 23rd year in existence. That means over 3000 boys and girls have had the chance of a lifetime to race inside a packed stadium full of fans and on a real Supercross track, just like the pro riders they look up to. Jennifer Leads heads up the program that features an amazing group of men and women that handle the kids’ needs all day and night. Besides KTM’s huge commitment to the program, they have a host of industry-leading companies who sponsor the program, like Troy Lee Designs, 100%, Ogio, Dunlop, Leatt, Zing Graphics and Nihilo Concepts.
