Racing on the original track showing the old grandstand at Levin Domain, where a centenary carnival will take place.
Labour Weekend 2023 marked the 100-year anniversary of the first racing on the sealed track then known as Levin Park Domain and a now known as the Laurie Roberts Velodrome at the Levin Domain.
Levin Cycling Club is running a racing carnival on Sunday December 3 to celebrate this momentous
occasion. This event has been in the pipeline for many months and as the club is only small, the work in organising this event has fallen on only a few people, the generosity of the Levin community has made this possible.
This event is attracting riders of all ages from the Manawatū and Wellington regions. Racing starts at 10am and will go through to around 3pm. We urge the public to come and see what track racing is all about. It is hard, fast, and extremely skilled given the bikes are on fixed gearing and have no brakes.
As a totally non-profit event, all rider entry fees are to be returned to the podium finishers on the day. Levin Cycling Club would like to thank their sponsors. Our generous, named sponsor for the event and the next two years of Levin Cup events is Woodhaven Gardens.
Our other generous sponsors are My Ride Levin, Vickers Marketing, Property Brokers, Mitre 10, Thoroughbred Foods, Spicer Accounting, Lokate IT Services, Crowe Construction, Guthrie Bowron, Collier Motor Engineers, New World, NZ Gifts, Swazi, Farm Source, Tremain’s, Mico, Chainey’s, Adin Trusses, Annie’s Bakery, Colling & Gray, Comfort Socks and Berry’s Pharmacy.
