 Want to try racing fast on the ice? The Vancouver Speed Skating Club's annual "try speed skating" event is on Sunday Dec 10!
The event will include skating warm up, intro to speed skating specific techniques and race simulations. Kids can try speed skates if VSSC has boots in their size or can rent from the skate hut. Don't wait: capacity for this event is capped at 12 skaters aged 4-18, and you must register to participate. The passphrase is "tryVSSC2023".
