Para Track Readiness Programme (4 Weeks)

Cycling New Zealand will deliver a four-weekend Para Track Readiness Programme designed as the formal entry point into Para track cycling.

This programme is open to individuals with an eligible impairment who are new to Para cycling and wish to explore progression within the Para Cycling pathway.

Sessions are delivered across four weekends:

• 22 March: 12:00pm – 1:30pm

• 29 March: 12:00pm – 1:30pm

Each session focuses on developing the foundational skills required to train safely and confidently in a structured track environment.
