Track cycling is a competitive sport, where racers maneuver single-speed, fixed-gear bicycles around an oval track, known as a velodrome. The outdoor velodrome at Marymoor Park is one of a few venues for track cycling in the Pacific Northwest and one of the longest/largest tracks in the country. Bicycling classes at all skill levels are offered seasonally. The track also hosts a range of racing events, from locally competitive races to USA Cycling Nationals. The summertime Friday Night Racing series (“The Show”) from May-September has become a sports tradition in the Seattle area, a thrilling action for racers and spectators alike. World-class athletes compete under the spotlights while family and friends picnic on the lawn or enjoy the view from the stands, at the beverage garden, and food trucks standing nearby. Spectator admission: $5 at the front gate, cash or check only. Kids 16 and under are free. Beverage garden opens up just before racing begins at 7:00, 21+ only, valid ID required to enter. Please be advised, all racing is subject to cancellation due to rain. More info: Friday Night – “The Show” – The Jerry Baker Velodrome
