The following press release is from KTM: 

KTM North America, Inc. is pleased to announce enhanced details for the 20th running of KTM Youth Day, a special celebration focused on the future generation of offroad racers, held in conjunction with the historic John Penton GNCC in Millfield, Ohio.

Serving as Round 12 of the 2024 AMA Grand National Cross Country (GNCC) Series this weekend, September 28 and 29, the John Penton GNCC embraces KTM history as the event is named after the man who originally imported the KTM motorcycle from Austria into the United States. As a salute to Mr. John Penton, KTM will once again offer a special weekend of activities centered around youth racing.

Every KTM Youth motorcycle racer who enters the John Penton GNCC will receive an Orange Brigade KTM branded towel. Participants will receive a ticket at GNCC Registration, in which they can redeem for a free towel at the Landers KTM truck on vendor row. Additionally, KTM branded beach balls will be at the Team Faith slip-n-slide.

Further celebrating the growth of youth racing, KTM will be giving away bibs for all ePeeWee (STACYC) participants of Saturday’s race.

Throughout the weekend, the FMF KTM Factory Racing Team and KTM-supported riders will be at the finish line area to award each Youth motorcycle racer with a finisher medallion upon completion of their race.
