Condor Women’s League
We kick things off in 2025 with Condor Women's League starting on Saturday 12 April at 5.30pm. Supported by Condor Cycles catering for riders of all fitness and experience, with three ability-based categories and a race programme including all your track racing favourites: short, sharp sprint events and longer bunch races. There’s something for everyone whether you’ve been competing for years or are new to track racing and working your way through our track pathway.
Convene ESG Track League
We build up following this with our main weekly league on track - Convene ESG Track League of starts on Wednesday 16 April and carries on right through to end of September every week. With every race imaginable and special events throughout the season, this is the place to be if you want to enjoy top quality local racing and take part or cheer on with club mates and friends. Racing is ability based and there will be special spot prizes throughout the season and supported by Convene ESG. New this year, we will have a youth prize fund of £250 kindly supported by the Redmon CC Pete Reynolds Legacy Fund, to promote and encourage competitive cycling.

Supported by Friends of Herne Hill Velodrome, we can’t wait to welcome experienced and new racers to the track for this community driven event on Saturday evenings from 5.30pm. Each week will see a great variety of bunch races, and special events too, with overall league standings for all age categories.
Speed League
Speed League is for all racers ooking to practice sprint and team pursuit riding for any rider aged 14+. For those newer to sprinting it’s a low pressure, supportive environment to try out match sprint racing for the first timers and more experienced riders it’s a chance to hone your skills and race form ahead of bigger goals. Each round will include a match sprint competition where every rider gets a qualifying flying 200m time trial, followed by at least 2 sprint matches against riders of a similar speed with other events such as Team Sprints and Keirin. We’ll also be hosting a Team Pursuit competition as part of this league and on the same evening with local clubs and teams pitching their best riders to race against each other and the clock! Speed League zooms into action on Saturday 17 May.
