The motor biking track is on land that was granted under lease by Bord na Móna to a local start-up company Derryarkin Motocross. The ‘Arrive and Ride’ track is located close to Junction 3 on the M6 and is expected to attract quad drivers and bikers from across the region.

The track at Derryarkin is 1800 metres long and varies between six and ten metres wide, incorporating a series of turns, jumps and straights, all designed in accordance with Motorcycle Ireland rules and regulations.

It was part funded by Westmeath Community Development. It is first track that granted planning permission in Ireland. The track at Derryarkin has been granted approval by Westmeath and Offaly County Councils as well as An Bord Pleanala.
