Park City Speedskating will host the fourth annual Park City Speed Miners Race on Saturday at the Park City Ice Arena, 600 Gillmor Way, along with a free Try Speedskating Session from 4-4:45 p.m. on Friday. Those interested in trying the sport on Friday can register online at tinyurl.com/vhfw7 65u. Wear long sleeves, long pants and gloves, the organization said. Helmets and speed skates will be provided. The schedule for the race on Saturday: 2-2:20 p.m.: Athlete registration and check-in 3:20 p.m.: Opening ceremony and parade of teams (featuring visiting clubs from the Utah Olympic Oval and Timpanogos). 3:30 p.m.: Racing begins – High-speed heats for all age groups 6-6:30 p.m.: Awards ceremony, opportunity drawing and community social. Unlike the steady rhythm of long-track skating, short-track is a “fast and furious” battle for position, the organization said. The discipline combines speed with tactical maneuvering on a tight 111-meter oval. “Short track is about courage and precision,” said Brian Boudreau, Head Coach of Park City Speedskating. “Seeing kids today skating on the same ice where Casey Dawson first discovered his speed reminds us that the next Olympic dream could start right here this weekend.” Admission is free for spectators.
