Inside the Milton Velodrome, at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre
Get ready for some fast and crazy action at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre as the 2023 Canadian Track Championships kick off this weekend.
More than 120 Elite and Masters athletes from across the country will gear up for the tournament. The Manager of Events and Officials at Cycling Canada, Jolène Dupuis, is stoked to see the return of the event.
“We are excited to give our Canadian athletes the opportunity to race fast at the Mattamy National Cycling Centre considering we are only a few months away from hosting the Tissot UCI Track Nations Cup here in April.”
There will also be the Tissot UCI Track Nations Cup happening in April, which you can read about here.
Elite athletes like Tokyo 2020 Olympians Lauriane Genest, Ariane Bonhomme, Michael Foley and Champion Kelsey Mitchell will all be racing for the top step of the podium. Athletes will also be looking to earn the first Canadian Champion title in the newly added scratch event, including World Champion Dylan Bibic, who recently claimed the rainbow stripes in Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, FRA
Current Canadian Champions in their respective Master categories, Denise Magnini (time trial), Frank Kovacs (time trial, 200m sprint) and Uli Mayer (individual pursuit) will all be on the hunt to reclaim the Canadian Track Champion titles they earned back in September 2022.
The 2023 Canadian Track Championships will run from Friday, January 6th to Sunday, January 8th. Athletes will take on individual, team, sprint and endurance events over the three days of competing for the coveted maple leaf jerseys.
