Overview:
The Schools Championship is an afternoon of track racing at the velodrome for riders aged 8–18. This is a competitive, yet inclusive event—if your riders have little or no track experience, please reach out, and we can arrange training ahead of time. It's essential that all riders have at least one taster session before participating in the Schools Championship.
Last year, nearly 140 riders participated, creating an exciting atmosphere, and we make sure that there’s great prizes (not just for race winners!) and plenty of food and drinks at the cafe.
Categories:
Racing will be divided into four categories based on age: U12, U14, U16, and U18, with separate prizes for boys and girls.
Please enter boys and girls in separate teams where possible.
If you don’t have enough riders to form a full team, still enter, and we will combine teams on the day.
Age groupings (these don't always match the exact age of the rider, please use the following as a guide):
U12: School year 7 and under (minimum age 8)
U14: School years 8–9
U16: School years 10–11
U18: School years 12–13 (6th form)
Teams:
Teams should consist of 3 riders. All three will participate together in the Team Pursuit, but riders won't compete in every event. Expected participation is:
1 rider in the Flying 200, 3 in the Team Pursuit, 2 in the Scratch, 1 in the Keirin, and 1 in the Chase Race.
GUIDE TO ENTRIES
