BRITISH CYCLING NATIONAL MASTERS TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS 2025

12TH – 15TH JUNE

Welcome to the homepage for the Masters National Track Championships 2025! Full Gas Cycling are proud to once again be back hosting and promoting the championships and hope to build on the success of last year’s event and come back bigger and better for 2025. The championships will remain at the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales in Newport. 

Having taken on board feedback, the programme will differ slightly from last year, reverting back to the Sprint & Time Trial on Thursday and Friday. We are in talks with British Cycling to add a championship team pursuit, Team sprint and elimination races, however, in order to make this a reality we must first run these as non championship events with the intent to get them approved as championship events in 2026. This represents an ideal chance to compete in these events at a national level before the World Masters Track Championships in London 2026/2027.  Please see below for the full schedule. 

SCHEDULE

A full schedule of events including timings will be released once entries have closed.  Schedule is subject to change.

PREMIUM PENS

The track centre layout will remain largely the same from 2024 however we will now be offering 3 pen options. 

There will be a general open plan pen layout where as before you can lock and leave your kit overnight, as always at your own risk.  Any riders using the general pens accept that although you can lock your equipment in that pen, if you are not occupying that pen, other riders are welcome to set up in that pen for their event.

Premium pens are only to be occupied by those riders who have purchased them and will come with the option of power *Please note there are a limited number of Premium Pens that will have access to a power source* The cost of a Premium Pen is £5 per rider per day or £7.50 per rider per day if power is required.

For the sake of clarity, there will still be plenty of free to use pens as before. We are trialing this system in preparation for hosting the World Masters Track Championships in 2026/2027 where the space is usually at a premium and frustration over large pens being taken over and then empty for much of the competition time.

 

MEDAL CEREMONIES

To keep the racing moving and limit track down time, we will be presenting morning session medals during the lunch break and afternoon session medals in the evening once racing has finished. 

SPORTS MASSAGE

Lorna of LT Sports Massage will be attending he event. To book your pre or post race sports massage please email lornae1@outlook.com. Lorna will also be taking bookings on the day (subject to availability)

CHILL OUT AND CATCH UP

Once again we are trying to create more of a social atmosphere after racing where everyone can catch up and chat outside of the pressure of racing.  The far end of the track will  be having a rider lounge area where you can chill out and catch up with friends while watching the racing in comfort. This area will double as the presentation and dining area.
