The Evesham 30k is the second instalment of the FISS Road Race Series (RRS), held at Evesham VeloPark, Evesham FC ground.
Evesham is entirely unique, arguably the most interesting and versatile skating venue used by the Federation – and one of the most beautiful; not only is the surrounding local area of Worchestershire lovely, if the weather and time of year is right, the grassed areas of the track are covered in a blanket of red poppies. Skaters on different sections of the track winding past each other in opposite directions creates something of a spectacle.
Open to all skaters, Members and non members, elites and recreational/quad skaters, the event consists of a 100m sprint supporting race, followed by the main event, the Evesham 30k/ 20k/ 10K (or alternative distance for younger skaters). Skaters are split into age categories and are welcome to only skate in the endurance race if they wish. There are no expectations here; whether your aim is to win the road series, prove that you’re simply the best, raise money for a beloved charity, or challenge yourself and socialise with other skaters, this is an event for everyone. The 20k is a rarely run distance, providing the potential for the setting of some new British records. This year there will be some great music to accompany your skating and help you muster up the energy for those last few miles.
All age groups will have the opportunity to skate the 100m sprint. The FISS age categories and their associated distances for the endurance race along with the event schedule, track layouts for the different races and important information can be found in the links below:
