☆ Mad Track Arena is home to the only indoor velodrome of its kind in the United States. Our signature feature is a 1/10th-mile wooden oval track with steep 50-degree banked turns, purpose-built for high-speed, adrenaline-pumping Madison racing—a dynamic two-person team relay on brakeless bikes.
☆ Beyond the velodrome, the arena also includes a weight area and a 1/8th-mile flat oval track with dedicated running, skating, and walking lanes, offering flexible options for fitness enthusiasts of all kinds.
☆ More than just a sports facility, Mad Track Arena is also a premier event venue, ideal for parties, corporate events, car shows, flea markets, weddings, receptions, birthday celebrations, and so much more. Whether you’re here to ride, roll, or celebrate—MTA has something for everyone.
The name Mad Track Arena comes from a combination of the sport’s history, the venue’s unique design, and its purpose as a multi-use facility.
The word Mad is a nod to the Madison race, an endurance cycling event that was invented in Madison Square Garden in 1899. This historic race, which has also been featured in the Olympic Games, is the inspiration for the cycling game we host on our velodrome.
The word Track refers to the core of our facility: an indoor wooden cycling oval with steep 50-degree turns and 20-degree straightaways. This unique design is specifically built for high-speed cycling and up close viewing experiences.
Finally, the word Arena highlights our 64,000 square-foot indoor dome. Beyond just cycling, this versatile space will host a variety of activities, programs, and events.
Mad Track Arena is owned and operated by the Detroit Fitness Foundation Michigan-Based 501c3 Non-Profit
