නරියාකන්ද පසුපස සැඟවුණු කවුරුත් නොදන්නා කතාව / The unknown story behind the Fox Hill

The Fox Hill Supercross is an annual racing event hosted by the Sri Lanka Military Academy intending to raise funds to manifest and elevate the infrastructure and training facilities of the military academy. The Fox Hill Supercross was first hosted in 1993 and has since become the most sought-after motorsport event in Sri Lanka. The motorsport event is held annually on a two-kilometre gravel track that is built amidst mountainous terrain within the Military Academy shooting range in Diyathalawa.
In 2024, the Fox Hill Supercross race made its comeback after a five-year hiatus, as it was last held in 2019. The Fox Hill Supercross race was cancelled for the past few years due to restrictions imposed by authorities owing to the COVID-19 pandemic and later due to concerns related to the Sri Lankan economic crisis. The 2024 edition was the 28th edition of the Fox Hill Supercross race, and the racing event garnered around 270 entries, including 150 cars and 120 bikes. This also marked the first instance in Fox Hill Supercross history that a single edition had received 150 car entries, as the event history suggests, otherwise often generating 120 car entries in general in the race's history.
Nariyakanda, located in Diyathalawa, Sri Lanka, is a picturesque area known for its serene and tranquil environment. Situated in the Uva Province, this region is characterized by its cool climate and lush green landscapes, making it a popular retreat from the tropical heat of the lowlands. Diyathalawa itself is a small town that has a significant presence of the Sri Lankan military, including training schools and bases, adding a unique aspect to its character.
The natural beauty of Nariyakanda is enhanced by its rolling hills and expansive views of the surrounding countryside. The area is often enveloped in mist, especially in the early mornings and late evenings, adding a mystical quality to its already peaceful setting. It's an ideal location for hiking, bird watching, and enjoying the outdoors.
The local architecture often includes colonial-style bungalows and newer constructions that blend modern and traditional elements, reflecting the area's history as a hill station during the British colonial period. The community in Nariyakanda is typically tight-knit, with a mix of military personnel and local residents who are engaged in agriculture and small-scale industries.
Overall, Nariyakanda offers a quiet, restful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle of city life, making it a cherished spot for both locals and visitors seeking tranquility and a touch of adventure in the heart of Sri Lanka's highlands.
