Track map and layout

STK Sona is a purpose-built motocross track in the town of Bucha, just northwest of Kyiv, founded and long run by Sergii Pashchynskyi, a Master of Sport, Honoured Coach of Ukraine and multiple Ukrainian motocross champion. Like most motocross venues, its exact course layout is reshaped periodically for different competitions and training sessions, and detailed length or corner-count figures are not published by the club. The track has historically been affiliated with the FIM (Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme) and the Federation of Motorised Sports of Ukraine.

Events and race weekends

STK Sona has hosted rounds and finals of the Ukraine Motocross Cup under the Federation of Motorised Sports of Ukraine, alongside its own open individual championship events. The club's published event history runs through the early 2020s; specific current-season event scheduling for the track amid the ongoing war in Ukraine could not be verified for this guide.

Getting there and parking

The track is in Bucha, a town on the northwestern edge of the Kyiv metropolitan area, roughly 25 km from the capital. Kyiv Boryspil International Airport is the usual gateway, though travel conditions to Ukraine and the Kyiv region have been significantly affected since Russia's invasion began in February 2022, and prospective visitors should check current government travel advisories before planning a trip.

Parking

No published parking details; treat as a small local club facility rather than a major spectator venue.

Hotels and camping near STK Sona Motocross Track

Kyiv, a short drive away, has the region's widest range of hotels; Bucha itself is primarily a residential town rather than a visitor destination, and accommodation and travel conditions in the wider Kyiv region have been affected by the war since 2022.

Where to look

Central Kyiv for the widest choice of hotels within reach of Bucha.

Track days, driving experiences and lap records

The club has historically offered its training motocross track for rental to riders alongside organised competitions, plus coaching programmes under its founder. Current public access and any track day offering depend on the club's operating status amid the ongoing war, which this guide cannot verify.

Spectator guide

As a small, club-run motocross facility rather than a major spectator circuit, STK Sona has modest viewing infrastructure oriented around its competition track rather than large-scale grandstands.

Weather

• May-September: warm continental summer, typically 20-27°C

History of STK Sona Motocross Track

A club built around one rider's career

STK Sona, formally registered in 1994 as a small private enterprise, is a motocross club and training track in Bucha, on the northwestern edge of the Kyiv metropolitan area. It was founded by Sergii Pashchynskyi, a Master of Sport and Honoured Coach of Ukraine who was himself a multiple-time Ukrainian motocross champion and a medallist at Soviet Union motocross championships before turning to coaching and building the club that bears the Sona name.

A regional motocross hub

Over the decades, STK Sona's track has become a recognised venue on Ukraine's national motocross calendar, hosting open individual championships and rounds or finals of the Ukraine Motocross Cup under the Federation of Motorised Sports of Ukraine. The club built out training programmes, equipment rental and coaching alongside its competition calendar, maintaining ties to international governing body FIM and positioning itself as both a competition venue and a development pathway for young Ukrainian riders.

The war in the Kyiv region

Bucha, where the club is based, was one of the towns in the Kyiv region occupied by Russian forces in the opening weeks of the February 2022 full-scale invasion before Ukrainian forces retook the area. The impact of that occupation, and the wider war, on the club's facilities and operations is not something publicly documented sources make clear, and this guide cannot verify STK Sona's current operating status. Readers interested in visiting should treat any information about current activity as needing direct confirmation with the club.
