Schedule
Warm Up 6:00pm – 6:30pm Racing 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Riders will be racing against people of their own ability, as we believe this is the best way to ensure good honest fair racing! The organisers will place riders in the grade they believe will best suit their present ability, and this means they will get good competitive (but fun) racing!

A note about Infield Access...
The Grassroots Trust Velodrome limits infield access for health, safety, and development.
Therefore, infield access will only be granted to those who are riding on the track.
The two main reasons why we limit infield access during certain sessions:
Health & Safety; additional people in the infield can create congestion, potentially impacting coaches’ ability to supervise and ensure a safe environment. Infield access must also be monitored in case of emergency situations, hence all visitors entering the infield must sign in at reception.
Junior Development; For our junior programmes specifically, limited infield access allows young athletes to develop self-managing and problem-solving skills. This translates to independence, confidence and better decision making on the track, ultimately making them well rounded athletes.
Medical event/incident:
We understand that in the case of a medical event or incident that children will want their parents. If you find yourself in this situation, please come to reception and inform the staff member on the desk. Our staff member will escort you into the infield to your child. Please do not enter onto the track.
Please rest assured that there are experienced coaches and volunteers in the infield to support your children with anything they may need. Please encourage your children to make contact with one of our coaches/support volunteers if they require help with any task.
