The first bicycle racing on the new cinder track was the Royal Albert Athletic Club's first annual sports on 21st August 1886, there was a one mile confined and two and five miles open handicap races. Motherwell Cycling Club also held a two miles club handicap race. The Athletic Club held another race meeting on 18th September 1886.
The Athletic Club held their annual summer sports for the next five years, attendance was good, there were 3,000 spectators at the 1888 meeting. The 1889 Athletic Club sports were spread over two days, 20 & 27th July 1889, the weather was beautifully fine and there were 1,400 spectators. The two bicycle handicap events were a one mile open and a two mile local confined race, both of these were won by Hugh Train.
The Athletic Club often organised separate running and bicycle race meetings, the Glasgow Evening Post commented that the Royal Albert Athletic Club did not always give bicycle racing the recognition that it deserved. There was no annual athletics meeting planned for 1891, but an evening bicycle race meeting was held on 19th August 1891, at which the champion rider RA (Bobby) Vogt appeared.
The annual Athletic Club meeting resumed in 1892 with a full program of bicycle races, but this didn't last and for a few years there were no bicycle race meetings. The football club ran football tournaments in the 1890s and sometimes included bicycle racing at the end of the meetings.
The Royal Albert FC organised a Cycling Carnival meeting on 23rd June 1900 and they held their sports meeting on 28th July 1900. The enthusiasm for cycle racing was running out after 1900, there were occasional race meetings in 1905 and 1911. The Royal Albert Cycling Club** was formed in 1901, but it was not particularly strong and after a few years of inactivity, the club re-formed and promoted a sports meeting on 12th August 1911, with bicycle racing, running and wrestling events. This was the last bicycle racing at Raploch Park.
The cinder track was enlarged in 1938 to enable greyhound racing to be held there, it became known as Larkhall Greyhound Stadium and was an independent (unlicensed) track which closed in 1964. The ground was then developed for housing and Royal Albert FC moved to play the Robert Smillie Memorial Park.
** There was also an active Royal Albert Cycling Club in London around this time.
