What you need for a keirin race

A keirin race needs more than a motor-paced bike and racing bikes. You also need clear track markings, barriers, cones, helmets, repair supplies and a reliable setup for officials and spectators. Plan seating, tables, waste bins and shelter separately from the race equipment. Check power and sound equipment before race day, and bring spare tubes, chains and pumps so a small mechanical problem does not stop the programme.

Tips

Prepare enough barriers and course tape to separate riders from spectators along the full course, with extra material for entrances and gaps. Use cones to make the route visible before riders arrive.
Bring one motor-paced bike for the race and check it before loading. Pack spare road bikes only if your plan requires them, and take pumps, tool cases, spare inner tubes and spare chains for same-day repairs.
Set aside cycling helmets, bib numbers and race numbers before the start list is final. Print or organise them in race order so late registration changes do not delay rider check-in.
Provide a judges’ table with chairs, a laptop or tablets, and the printed schedule. Add microphone stands and a sound system early enough to test the speakers and microphones before announcements begin.
Count extension cords and power strips against the number of powered devices, including the laptop, tablets and sound system. Keep cables away from the course and bring party tents or tables if officials and equipment need weather protection.

Frequently asked questions

What equipment do I need for a keirin race?: Plan for a motor-paced bike, race bikes, helmets, track markings, lane and crowd barriers, cones and course tape. You will also need repair equipment, race numbers, official tables and chairs, plus sound and power equipment.
How many spare inner tubes should I bring to a keirin race?: Bring at least two spare inner tubes for every race bike in use, plus a pump and a tool case. Add more if several races run back to back or riders bring different wheel sizes.
When should I prepare the keirin race shopping list?: Check the list at least 7 days before the race, then shop no later than 2 to 3 days beforehand. Reserve specialist equipment earlier if it must be borrowed or hired.
What should I bring for keirin race officials and spectators?: Provide a judges’ table, chairs, a laptop or tablets, the printed schedule, microphones, speakers and microphone stands. Add tables, waste bins and party tents according to the number of officials and spectators expected.
