PARK CITY, Utah — Park City Speedskating announced today the launch of its newly rebranded “Learn to Race” program, formerly known as the club’s Learn to Speedskate clinic. 

Designed for youth skaters and adults looking to transition from basic ice skating to dynamic short-track speedskating techniques, the six-week session will run on Monday evenings 6:30 to 7:45 from August 10 through September 21 at the Park City Ice Arena.

“We’re shifting the focus from simply learning to glide to truly mastering the power, edge control, and competitive fun of short-track racing,” said Brian Boudreau, Executive Director and Head Coach of Park City Speedskating.
