Tagaytay hosts Asian track
The 45th Asian Cycling Confederation Track Cycling Championships kicked off in Tagaytay City, Philippines, with organizers expecting over 600 athletes to compete — a major platform for rising Asian track talent Tagaytay rolls out red carpet for Asian track cycling championships.
The championships are scheduled for March 25–31, 2026 at the Tagaytay CT Velodrome ([uci.org)]. The program will also stage the 14th Asian Para Track Cycling Championships, with para events listed to include the individual pursuit, 1,000m time trial, sprint, elimination, scratch race and mixed team/tandem sprints ([manilatimes.net)]. Twelve nations had formally confirmed entries earlier this year, a field organizers said would grow as accreditation closed ([pna.gov.ph)]. The Philippines is hosting the Asian track championships for the first time since 1995, a 31‑year gap for the continental meet in the country ([pna.gov.ph)]. The Tagaytay CT Velodrome was officially opened on June 23, 2025 during Olympic Day ceremonies, marking its inauguration as the nation’s first UCI‑standard indoor track ([pna.gov.ph)]. The venue’s cycling track measures 250 meters and is built to international specifications, with reports naming it a wooden, indoor facility suitable for elite competition ([en.wikipedia.org)]. Only a dozen Asian countries operate velodromes, and local organizers have promoted Tagaytay as the region’s newest indoor, wood‑track facility that can stage continental events ([pna.gov.ph)]. The Asian Cycling Confederation confirmed Tagaytay as host in its communications, while the UCI lists the meet as the Asian Track Cycling Continental Championships with the full program (sprint, keirin, omnium, madison, team pursuit, etc.) on its official calendar ([manilastandard.net)].
