    A velodrome is a bicycle racing track with steeply banked turns and straight sections. Velodromes have a wooden or concrete track that is oval or circular in shape. Track lengths vary but are commonly 250m, 333m or 500m to accommodate different cycling event distances. The steeply banked turns allow cyclists to race at high speeds around tight corners without braking. Pegs are installed along the inside of the track for cyclists to grab in case they lose control on the banked turns.

    250m track is 4 laps = 1km
    333.333m track is 3 laps = 1km
    500m track is 2 laps = 1km
