Who We Are

Star Track is a free youth cycling program based at Kissena Velodrome in Queens, empowering NYC kids—many from under-resourced communities—through the sport of track racing. Since 2004, it has introduced thousands to cycling, fostering confidence, athletic growth, and national-level success. With over 40 national titles and multiple records, Star Track is a USA Cycling Jr. Club of the Year and Center of Excellence. Thanks to sponsor support, the program remains completely free for local youth ages 8–16.

Building Community and Confidence in Our Youth

Star Track is more than a cycling program—it’s a launchpad for confidence, teamwork, and personal growth. By providing free access to coaching, equipment, and competition, the program helps kids build strong values, lasting friendships, and a sense of belonging. Through racing, they learn discipline, resilience, and the power of community—on and off the track.
