The Jerry Baker Memorial Velodrome is a 1,300-foot (400 m) outdoor bicycle racing track located in Redmond, Washington. It was built in 1974 and was resurfaced in 2005.[1] The current track racing surface is 400 meters in total length, with a maximum slope of 23 degrees in the corners. As such, the "Gentle Giant" is one of the longest in the country. [2] Currently operated by the Marymoor Velodrome Association, the track hosted the US Master's Track National Championships in 2014.[3] It will also be holding USA Junior Cycling Nationals in 2024.[4]
