up through 8pm the night before, entry fee is $15, After 6 pm there will be an additional $10 late fee for same-day registration, done onsite. Sorry, but we cannot take credit cards at same-day registration.

Registration and warm up will begin at 9:00am in August, and 10 am in September. Time trials start at 10 am in August and 11 am in September. *Note: Indianapolis is the same time as OHIO and one hour different than Chicago. Races may be delayed or cancelled during inclement weather based on City of Indianapolis park weather guidelines.

EVENTS will be run in the same format as ice, long track competition. The warm-up lane is to be used for warm-up and cool-down, and is not part of the racing surface. Helmets are Required! Kneepads and gloves are recommended. All U.S speed skating rules will be in effect.

The first event for all skaters is a 350 meter metric-style time trial. This time trial is used for seeding purposes to place skaters into groups of approximately 5 to 7 skaters. Skaters will be placed in A, B, C, D and E categories based on ability and time in the time trial, not pertaining to gender or age. The fastest skaters will be placed into the “A” group, the next fastest into the “B” group, and so on, until all skaters are placed. Quad skaters compete in their own, separate groups.

Next, the groups from above, A, B, C, D, E, etc…will race three pack-style events based on time trial times and skill set. Each group will skate a medium distance, a short distance, and finish with a long distance pack-style event,

An example of distances is as follows:

Category A & B C D E Quad

Pack 1000 meter 600 meter 350 meter 150 meters 600 meters

Style 350 meter 350 meter 200 meter 100 meters 350 meters

Events 1500 meter 1000 meter 600 meter 350 meters 1000 meters

Finally, after the category races are complete, a 3 kilometer, 5 kilometer, and 10 kilometer race will be held. Skaters lapped or out of contention may be told to retire.

2) The top 10 skaters each day receive up to 10 points per 2 events, the time trial, and the long race. Each skater’s best 4 events count toward the overall. A perfect score is 100 points: 60 participation points, plus 20 points ( 2 wins ) in the time trial, plus 20 points (2 wins ) in the long event. Skaters must be present on September 27th for awards presentation. The Promoter reserves the right to change, cancel, combine, and or modify events and prizelist.
