The newly inaugurated Tagaytay CT Velodrome will host its first major international event, the Asian Cycling Federation Championships, from March 25 to 31, 2026.
PhilCycling chief and POC president Abraham Tolentino confirmed the selection, which came directly from Asian Cycling Confederation president Dato’ Amarjit Singh Gill during the venue’s ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The velodrome, modeled after Switzerland’s Velodrome Suisse, is expected to welcome around 350 riders from 45 countries, including China and Japan.
National cyclists Ronald Oranza and Jermyn Prado were the first to test the track using borrowed bikes from Thailand, as the country begins forming its track team for the SEA Games this December.
The event marks the realization of a 20-year dream for Tagaytay City, backed by prominent local officials, including Vice Mayor Agnes Tolentino.
