Velocity 2013

Brand new for 2013, Manchester City FC and supported by British Cycling, have created a charity event like no other, called VELOCITY. On Friday 22nd March 2013 we will take over the Velodrome at the National Cycling Centre, the home of British Cycling, for 24 hours of non-stop cycling with sporting and celebrity teams. But most importantly, raising funds for local charities in Manchester.

Registrations are open till midnight on Thursday 21st March 2013 at which point full team entry must be paid. Entrance costs £100 per rider, or £500 for the whole team of five (plus booking fee). All riders must be at least 12 years of age.

There is a special £100 team entry fee (plus booking fee) for the timeslots between 1am – 7am, but be quick these are in demand!

There are some incredible prizes on offer for the winning VELOCITY riders in both team and individual categories.

2012 was a glorious year for British Cyclists, and for UK sport. Have your own Olympic moment with Velocity. Push your limits, change a life.
