CTT Scotland and Veterans Time Trials Association (VTTA) will hold a Track Day at Caird Park on 15th June 2025. The aim of this event is to promote track cycling in Scotland. There are only two Veterans age records at 5km in Scotland so this event is expected to result in a flood of new Veteran records!
Riders will race individually around the 402 meter outdoor track to complete 5km, i.e 12 laps and 176 meters. The course map shows 3.1 miles, equivalent to 5km.
Each rider will have a 10 minute slot that is estimated to allow the typical rider to have two warm up laps to get used to racing the bends before their record attempt.
The event starts at 10:00 and ends at 15:00. The event capacity is therefore 30 riders. The entry fee is £25. Riders must enter online at the CTT site from Thursday 13th March. Entry on the day will be allowed, but is not advised, as this event is expected to sell-out quickly. Entrants must belong to a CTT affiliated club or the VTTA.
Under VTTA regulations, to set an outdoor track record, riders can use a time trial bike or a road bike that meets CTT regulations, just as you would use in road time trial, or a Track (fixed gear) bike that is UCI legal. Solo and tandem bikes are acceptable for this track event. Sorry no tricycles!
All ages are welcome, but 20 places will be reserved for Veterans. A startsheet with start times will be published before the event. If the event is oversubscribed, last three season personal bests at 10 miles will be used for selection. If the Veterans places are oversubscribed, last three season personal best age adjusted times at 10 miles will be used for selection. We aim to get a good range of ages racing the event.
Caird Park has an excellent velodrome with a car park and changing rooms.
Note: The correct start times are on the start sheet. System generated start times are shown for some riders below. Please ignore them.
