Star Track Youth Cycling

For 20 years, New York City kids have been discovering the joy of bike racing, through our unique, cost-free, barrier-free program at Kissena Velodrome in Queens.

The Star Track Youth Cycling Program

Star Track is a free, urban youth outreach program created to teach New York City area kids the fundamentals of track cycling at Kissena Velodrome in Queens. Founded in 2004, Star Track has helped thousands of children — many from under-resourced areas of the city — discover the joys and benefits of bicycle racing. Our goal is to empower and engage children, enhance their physical and social development and give them a sense of pride and accomplishment through regular athletic activity. Star Track provides the opportunity to join a competitive cycling team with elite riders from across the country, and Star Track racers have earned more than 40 National Championship jerseys while setting several national records. Star Track has been honored as a USA Cycling Jr. Club of the Year and has been repeatedly designated a USA Cycling Center of Excellence. Our program is funded entirely by sponsors and private contributions, and thanks to this generous support, Star Track is fee-free for New York City children aged 8-16.
