      • The Triple Crown Series is the premier domestic Canadian off-road motorcycle racing series, sanctioned by Motorsport Racing Canada.
      The series currently runs annually throughout the summer months each year although has previously spanned a wider duration when Supercross and Arenacross rounds were included. The premier classes are the 450 Pro and 250 Pro but there are also classes for women riders and two-stroke motorcycles.
      The Triple Crown Series took over as the premier off-road series in Canada in 2018, when promoter Jetwerx acquired the Canadian Motorsport Racing Club and renamed it Motorsport Racing Canada (MRC). Prior to this, the highest level of motocross racing in Canada had gone through several guises from its inception in the 1950s and had been known as the Canadian Motocross Nationals in the period prior to Jetwerx's acquisition.


      History


      The sport of motocross has a long history in Canada, with the first organised national championship happening in 1958. In the 1960s and 70's, European, American and Japanese riders competed in the national championships in Canada, raising the level of the series and the profile of the sport nationally.
      By the 1990s the Continental Motosport Club begun sanctioning events in competition with the Canadian Motorcycle Association. Renamed to be the Canadian Motosport Racing Club, the company became the promoter of the Canadian Motocross Nationals up until the end of the 2017 season.
      Following Jetwerx's acquisition and renaming of the CMRC to Motorsport Racing Canada, the series was transformed into the Triple Crown Series for 2018 onwards. This saw the creation of a 'Grand National' style overall Triple Crown championship, encompassing points totalled from the separate national Motocross, Supercross & Arenacross championships in the country. Within this, the winner of each of the three separate championships became the national champion in that discipline.
      The 2020 and 2021 season saw no Arenacross rounds held and from 2022 onwards there have been no Supercross rounds held. Arenacross returned in 2022 and 2023 but the 2024 season saw the Triple Crown Series contested over the Motocross rounds only.
      Dylan Wright is the most successful rider in the championship since 2018, winning 4 overall Triple Crown titles across the two main classes.
