Track Cycling in Otago
We’re lucky in Dunedin to have a world class track cycling facility in Mosgiel, at the Seddon Park Velodrome. It’s an outdoor facility with 250m of smooth, fast concrete.
Everyone is welcome to join track cycling. New riders of all abilities and ages are always given a warm welcome If you don’t have a track bike, we can hire you one. Get in touch to find out how you can get involved. Additionally, our Facebook group is where we post regular updates on our track programme.

As per the racing calendar, Thursday night club racing will work on the basis of an A,B and C racing schedule, which means everyone (riders and managers) will know precisely what racing is occurring when. Track managers have been assigned for every night throughout the track season. All track riders need a Cycling New Zealand licence to race. Gearing limits apply and differ by grade; they are listed in the racing calendar.
No Track Bike? we have a fleet of track bikes to hire out. The cost for the season is $100 (for seniors) $75 for students, $50 for juniors. Contact: otagotrackcycling@gmail.com
