Olympic standard velodromes may only measure between 250 m and 400 m, and the length must be such that a whole or half number of laps give a distance of 1 km. Others range from 133 m to 500 m, although 250m is the most popular and the length used in major events.

A velodrome can be a range of distances/sizes. And the steepness of the bends can vary too. The most common sizes of a velodrome are: 250m (4 laps=1km), 333m(3 laps=999m, basically 1km) and 500m (2 laps=1km). But the most common out of all these is the normal Olympic distance track - 250m.
