This event is free thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Douglas 4th of July Committee. Rental skates are included and are available first come, first served.

Treadwell Arena will offer drop-in speed skating clinics on Sundays throughout the season, beginning with a free session on October 8. The hour-long clinics will take place at 2:45 p.m. every other Sunday and cost $15 after October 8.

Skaters can register online in advance or drop in at their convenience. Short track speed skates are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Skaters must be at least 12 years of age. No speed skating experience is necessary, although participants should possess intermediate skating skills (able to skate comfortably and perform a snowplow stop).

Helmets are required during the clinic. A limited number will be available to borrow, or skaters are welcome to bring their own.
