It's Summertime

We have no scheduled practices in the summer. Short track will start in September, and long track in November. It's a great time to stay active in other sports as well as do inline skating and strength training.

There are a few other activities through the summer to help support the club and community. The next is:

• Saturday, July 11 - Fireweed 400 Bicycle Event (50 miles past Sheep Mt. on the Glen Hwy)

To help out with these events contact Amy Fitzpatrick.

Welcome to the Alaska Speedskating club

Alaska Speedskating is the only speedskating organization in the state of Alaska, and we are located in the Anchorage-Eagle River area. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting all forms of speedskating as a healthy individual and family activity. We do short track at the Mac Center in Eagle River, long track at the oval in Midtown Park, and when the weather and conditions align 'adventure' skates on frozen lakes. Explore this website, and feel free to contact us with any questions.
