Short Track

Skaters do not let the short track skills you worked so hard to build this fall fade away over the winter.  The Plymouth Wayzata Club hosts short track time trials once per month.  These events are free for Midway skaters so take advantage of the opportunity.

Two dates have been published; November 18 and December 16 with warm up starting at 6:00 pm and races begin at 6:30.  Watch for additional dates in the future.
