The 2026 outdoor season shifts into high gear as we return to the track for an action-packed day of racing. Open to skaters of all ages and abilities, this event features a programme designed to test explosive power, mid-distance speed, and the tactical grit required for long-distance success. The 1 lap time trial is the perfect test of your “engine”; it’s all between you and the clock. The rarely run 800m, run as straight races without heats, will be a fast, high stakes battle. In the combined Elimination, lap by lap, the pack thins as the rear skater is removed from the race. Old favourite the Intercategory knockout closes out proceedings.
Whether you are a seasoned Category 1 racer or a novice taking your first steps into competitive skating, this event offers the perfect platform to sharpen your skills. The Federation’s electronic timing provides live (provisional) results and precision telemetry direct to your device.
Skaters are placed into categories according to their ability, with the exception of the age races where national age groups apply. For the very youngest skaters and those entirely new to the sport, there is a novice category. For those adult skaters who do not meet the speed requirements of the faster categories, but feel uncomfortable competing against children, Category 2A is the place for you. For more on how categories work, please click here.
For the category races, skaters earn points according to their finishing position in each race. The winner gains 1 point, second place 2 points, and so forth. At the end of the race meeting the skater with the least points across the category races is the winner of their category.
Medals earned at this event will be added to the clubs medal tally for the overall 2025/26 season (not to be confused with the Championship medal table); seize this opportunity to earn further glory for your Club.
