Club Appreciation Event

This event is hosted by the Alberta Velodrome Association as a thank-you to the local clubs for their support and collaboration. The velodrome would not be the vibrant, active space it is without your club’s participation. A $10 fee will be charged at registration to ensure participants sign up in advance and to help us plan accurate race heats and food quantities for all guests.
