British National Track Championships 19-22 Feb 2026

All spectator parking for large scale events will now be at The Etihad Campus, Gate 2 in the Blue Car Parks. It is a 10-minute walk away.

Parking for disabled spectators on site is limited, parking will be for blue badge holders only and must be arranged prior to the event by telephoning 0161 223 2244 (option 3).

The closest bus stop to the National Cycling Centre is the Tartan Street stop on Bank Street which is served by public routes 217, 703, and 710 and is just a 350 m (4 min) walk from the venue's entrance.

The Metrolink has been extended to Droylsden and stops at Etihad Campus and at the Metrolink Station - Velopark for National Cycling Centre which is a 400 m (5 min) walk from the venue. Trams to and from Velopark every 12 minutes, or every 15 minutes after 17:00 on Sundays.

The Ashton Canal provides a traffic-free route for cyclists from the city centre and Ashton to the Velopark. There are covered bike sheds close to reception for visitors, but you need to bring your own high security lock. If you are just visiting the centre, bikes can be parked for short periods in our lobby area, but still need locking securely.

A footbridge crosses the Ashton canal, which is National Route 60, so there are a number of off road routes you can use, some of them only suitable in daylight hours.
