Jefferson City Speedskating Club is excited to host our 27th Annual Capital City Speedskating Championships on Saturday, December 2, 2023! This meet is hosted by the Jefferson City Speedskating Club and is sanctioned by US Speedskating. The Jefferson City Parks and Recreation Department is a co-sponsor of the meet.

The Capital City Speedskating Championships will be conducted as an Ability Meet. In this format, all skaters will be grouped by ability for racing based on times and age provided on their entry form. All times, rankings, and awards will only be determined within each ability group. Most skaters should anticipate participating in six races. Preliminary heats with A and B Finals will be conducted when possible. Points will be awarded within an ability group based on the lowest finals time in a distance in respective A and B finals. If multiple skaters have the same cumulative number of points after racing is concluded ties will be broken by the better finish of the first distance skated for the ability group. Awards will be presented for each ability group and distance raced. A skater must race all distances for an overall award, unless ill. Helmet covers will be issued. Relays will be held at end of meet, time permitting.
