The length of the track is between 133m and 500m inclusive.

For World
Championships and Olympic Games, velodromes are 250m. The length of
the track is measured 20cm above the inner edge of the track (the upper
edge of the blue band).

The length of the track multiplied by a round number of laps or half laps
equals 1,000m. 

The smaller the track, the steeper the banking. A 250m track would bank
around 45°, while a 333m track would bank around 32°.

Width

The width of the track is constant throughout its length. Tracks approved in
categories 1 and 2 have a minimum width of 7m. Other tracks have a width
proportional to its length of 5m minimum.

Surface

The surface of the track is completely flat, homogenous and non-abrasive.

The tolerance of flatness for the track surface is 5mm over 2m. The coating
is uniform in all its aspects over the entire track surface. The surface colour
of the track must leave the track marking lines clearly visible.

Markings
All tracks have a standard set of markings. Any demarcation, line,
advertisement or other marking on the track is applied with a paint or
product which is non-slip and does not alter the adhesion properties,
consistency or homogeneity of the surface.

The longitudinal lines on the track above the blue band are 5cm wide and
the perpendicular lines are 4cm wide.
