Buzz and Excitement Build
The anticipation for the Fox Hill Supercross reached fever pitch with a media conference held in Colombo on March 28.

This gathering underscored the widespread excitement and support for the event, reaffirming its status as a highlight of Sri Lanka’s sporting calendar.
A Legacy Carved in History: The Story of Fox Hill
The roots of Fox Hill run deep, tracing back to the British colonial era when Ceylon became an unlikely home for prisoners from the Boer War in South Africa. It was aboard the HMS FOX, a ship often docked in Sri Lanka for repairs, that the legacy began. In 1913, captivated by the beauty of Diyatalawa, the crew of the HMS FOX, aided by Boer War prisoners, erected a monument atop a prominent hillock—a fox and the name of their ship. Thus, Fox Hill was born, a testament to history, camaraderie, and adventure that endures to this day.
The Thrill of the Track
Nestled beside the legendary Fox Hill lies the Fox Hill Supercross track, meticulously maintained by the Sri Lanka Military Academy. This challenging track serves as a battleground where racers test their limits and push the boundaries of performance and endurance. It stands not only as a testament to engineering excellence but also as a symbol of resilience and the relentless pursuit of greatness.
Honoring a Tradition of Tenacity
More than just a race, the Fox Hill Supercross pays homage to a legacy of courage and perseverance. As engines roar and tires screech on the historic tracks of Diyatalawa, participants become part of a narrative that spans generations. The 28th Fox Hill Supercross invites enthusiasts and newcomers alike to witness this fusion of past and present, where every turn tells a story and every victory honors the enduring spirit of Fox Hill.
