Category 2A is a wildcard category consisting of adult skaters and those between the ages of 16 and 17 who do not meet the speed requirements of the faster (higher) categories but are considerably older than those in their traditional ability category (i.e. children), and often consists of skaters of mixed ability. This ensures that these skaters also have an enjoyable race event without the discomfort that may arise from skating against children, and has resulted in a number of skaters taking part who may not have otherwise, which is excellent for the sport.

Novice is a standalone category for very young or very new skaters, giving them the opportunity to essentially “try before you buy” (main races or Memberships). Novice skaters are entered by selecting the appropriate option on the registration forms. Novice skaters are permitted below the age of 6 years however we ask that no children below the age of 4 are entered.
