“It’s only fitting that the first athletes to compete on the brand-new 250-metre timber track at the Cisco Milton PanAm/Parapan Am Velodrome will be high-octane Canadian riders,” reads a posting on the Toronto2015.org website. “The annual Canadian Track Championships celebrate elite, master and para-cyclists from across Canada in a showcase of endurance, adrenaline and strength as they compete for medals and titles in Canada’s newest home for high-intensity track cycling competition.”
“Tickets to the Canadian Track Championships are free! Grab your day passes from the Town of Milton’s ticket page (see link below).
