News: Good Friday Track Open set for April 19

The Condor Good Friday (track) Racing will take place on Friday 19th April at Lee Valley VeloPark. Track racing events have taken part on Good Friday since 1903. Racing returns for 2019 to London’s legendary indoor velodrome.

Full Gas Cycling, along with Vibrant partners and the Lee Valley Velodrome, introduced the new structure of Good Friday Racing in 2018, offering a level playing field for everyone to enter and compete for the lucrative list of prizes. There are no contracts offered and no reserved places, regardless of who the rider is. The result of such an attractive prize list is that you will, once again, see world famous stars competing on Good Friday.

To complement the exciting racing, the Lee Valley VeloPark will host a range of activities, including free children’s balance bikes and pump track sessions, a Silly Cycles workshop, Rollapaluza, face painting, balloon artists, and much more. Tickets will allow visitors to re-enter the velodrome throughout the day and enjoy the atmosphere of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic
Park.

The racing will culminate in the Monty Young Golden Wheel Race, a 20k scratch race. One of the most lucrative races in the event programme, the winner will receive a Breitling watch in the prize haul. Condor have introduced a new trophy for the blue riband race as a celebration of the brand’s founder, who passed away last summer. Grant Young explained the motivation behind naming the event: “My father loved supporting races and his wheel building was legendary. We wanted a way to remember him and what he did for track riders and the sport as a whole. Our aim is for the new title to continue for years to come, and for the race to inspire young riders to want to win it one day.”

Priced from £6 for children and £11 for adults, with family tickets also available from £29, the event offers an accessible and exciting day out for all ages.
