Park City Speedskating's Brian Boudreau and Olympian Kristen Santos-Griswald discuss the rejuvenated club and its Learn to Race Clinic at the ice sheet on Aug. 10. at 6:30p.m. The clinic runs six weeks and is for would-be speedskaters aged 5 and beyond.
Participants need basic balance and crossover skating skills. The coaches include Santos-Griswald and other Olympians and world medalists. The fee is $186.
The club got its start in 2006, halted operations during the COVID-19 pandemic and got going again in 2021. The club skates weekly on Monday at the Park City Ice Arena at 6:30 p.m. and has a weekly dry-land session. Bourdreau says more funding and more ice time are needed for speedskating to grow in Park City.
