Canadian Track Championships Jan. 3-6 – FREE Admission at Milton Velodrome + Schedule of Events

by John Symon
December 31, 2014 (Milton, ON) – The Canadian Track Championships presented by Cisco are taking place January 3-6, 2015 and the event is free for spectators. However, tickets to the Milton International Challenge on the following weekend, January 9-11, at the new velodrome, cost $10/day per adult.

“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). Your event ticket(s) includes public transportation to and from the event on GO Transit and Milton Transit, including the Milton Transit event shuttle. Each event ticket allows one spectator to use transit on the day of the event. Remember to bring your printed ticket – digital tickets displayed on electronic hand-held devices will not qualify – to take advantage of this service.”
