Cleveland Velodrome - 2013 Schedule



After years of planning and fundraising, the Cleveland Velodrome opened in August of 2012.  The Velodrome had a very good first season (albeit a short one) with total attendance of over 3,000 and nearly 250 riders having completed the Track 101 (Learn to Ride) program.  The 2013 season opens May 1 and features more and better programming as well as a full race schedule.

As such, below are some key dates to keep in mind for the next 30 to 60 days.  Mark your calendars!

  • April 13 – (11:00am to 2:00pm) – Velodrome and Grounds Maintenance Day.  Staff and volunteers will do trash pickup, painting and general clean up.  Ride afterwards if weather permits.
