National BMX Centre Wales

National BMX Centre Wales is a 400 metre BMX race track in Riverside Park, Llanrumney, on the east side of Cardiff. It is run by Cardiff BMX Racing Club, a registered charity, and is built to international competition standard with a 5 metre start hill, an 8 metre start hill for elite riders, a training gate for beginners and a pro straight. You do not have to race: the club welcomes riders of any age and ability, from complete beginners to international competitors, and says you can just turn up and ride.

The Track

• A 400 metre BMX race track built to international competition standard, with Sport Wales backing
• A 5 metre national-standard start hill, an 8 metre hill for riders aiming at European and World level, and a training start gate for beginners
• A pro straight, used for coaching and gate practice
• Floodlights for evening sessions

Sessions, Coaching and Racing

Cardiff BMX Racing Club runs the track. Its coaches are British Cycling registered, and sessions cover race lines and cornering, gate starts and sprinting, and jump and manual technique, with video feedback on gate starts. The club also runs open sessions for riders who just want to ride. Session days, times and prices are posted on the club's Facebook page and its app rather than on its website, so check there or email info@cardiffbmx.co.uk before you travel.

• Riders need a full-face helmet, long sleeves and trousers, and a bike with at least one brake. Any bike that is safe on a BMX track will do, and the club has equipment to hire
• Joining the club is optional: individual membership is £15 a year, runs to the end of December and gives access to all club sessions with coaching, with discounts on coaching. Non-members can book coaching too
• Club races run roughly once a month in the spring and summer season, with morning practice before racing starts

Prices are correct as of October 2026 but subject to change, so check current rates on the venue's website before you book.
