 Mission: This event will be catered to all skill levels, and will be grouped according to ability, through seed times, and through advice from the high performance program coaches and club coaches, where appropriate. 

The aim of this event is to provide race training with mental, tactical and skill development for the intermediate to advanced skaters, and race experience and fun for the new and developing skaters. 

The pre-planned races will allow coaches a forum to provide advice on ideal groupings, and race events, to allow their skaters specific opportunities to practice racing with specific goals in mind. 

This event will be a great tool for coaches to become more involved in race planning. 

Event Protocol: The groupings, race schedule, all race events, and starting line positions will all be pre-planned, with the exception of 400m and 500m races finals will be raced as heat to final. This event protocol will be provided to appropriate coaches a minimum of five days before the event, for feedback and suggested changes. Final changes will then be made, and the final event protocol will be distributed to the e-timing team, three days before the event, for them to input into their software. 

Suggested Race Groupings and distances: 

o Beginner/Active Start (100 m Track) 

100m, 100m, 200m 

o Group 1 ( 100m Track) 

200m, 400m, 400m, 800m and fun relay or bucket race (time permitting) 

o Group 2 (100m Track or 111m track - dependent on registration) 

400m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, relay (time permitting)

Volunteer requirements: 

Event administrator(s): This position should be 1 or 2 individuals, and in consultation with the High Performance Committee and coaches, the event administrator will set the race schedule, and create all the race events with starting line positions. This individual will also run the event from an on-ice, referee-type position. This volunteer position must be filled by an accredited referee or an experienced and accredited coach. As a learning experience for the skater, if an infraction is made by the skater during the race they will be notified by the event administrator, but no subsequent action will be taken on subsequent races that are pre-planned. Finishing positions should be recorded by the event administrator for confirmation with the e-timing team. 

Electronic Timing team: (2-3)This team should be comprised of 2-3 individuals with e-timing experience. The e-timing team will generate race results that include final time and finishing position. This team is incredibly important to the overall success of the event, as skaters will be racing for position and personal bests.
