The Alaska Speedskating Club

We aim to advance the sport of speedskating within Alaska. We aim to educate individuals in the sport of speedskating as athletes, coaches, and officials. We aim to bring together Alaskans who are interested in all forms of speedskating. We welcome everyone to join us. You don’t need to wear tight lycra to enjoy the sport or participate. We endeavor to provide opportunities for skaters of all ages and abilities at local, national, and international events.

Join Us

Participate: Come skate with us! You will be a speedskater in one season - guaranteed. We also have skates to use during practices or rent.

Officiate: We need volunteers to make the events and races happen. You don't even need to know how to skate.

Spectate: It's a fun sport to watch. Short track tends to be more fast and furious with more strategy. Long track can also be fast and furious, but perhaps it is more graceful.

Donate: Ice is expensive, there are no other clubs nearby, and we receive no subsidies. Contributions to Alaska Speedskating are tax deductible.
