CALLING ALL SPEED SKATERS! COME OUT & COMPETE IN THE SILVER SKATES SPEED SKATING COMPETITIONS.

Celebrating its 109th year, Silver Skates is an annual speed skating competition for ages six and up. Six events take place at neighborhood ice rinks throughout December & January. Check-in usually begins at 5 pm for each event, with races beginning at 5:30 pm. Youth races take place first, followed by the adult races.

Registration is required and will be taken on a first-come, first-served basis for the first 20 participants from each age group and gender. Advance registration online is encouraged. Onsite registration is available on the day of the meet if spots remain, beginning at 5 pm. All participants under the age of 18 MUST have a parent or guardian register them in order to participate.

Participants must wear gloves, long sleeves, and a bicycle or hockey helmet to participate. Figure skates, hockey skates, or speed skates must be worn at all times. Skates will be available to rent free of charge at each event.
