Unfortunately, as the global coronavirus pandemic continues, we can confirm that we have had no choice but to cancel the remainder of our events for this season, including the 2021 British Championships.

We have now also had confirmation that the ISU have cancelled the 2021 Junior World Championships which were due to take place in Japan.

Our senior GB skaters are currently within the ISU bubble in Heerenveen, NL and we wish them the best of luck in the upcoming ISU World Cups, housed within the bubble.

Start lists, schedules and results can be found here: https://live.isuresults.eu/home

For those with access, the action can be watched at www.nos.nl

As the situation continues to develop, we hope to be able to explore options for summer training, hopefully towards the end of August, but this will be dependant upon the global situation improving drastically between now and then.

We wish you all well and hope to see you on the ice in the future.

Keep safe.

Provisional dates for the 2020/21 season are now available on the UKLongtrack website calendar.

Remember, you can use the categories option at the top of the calendar and select ‘Training Weekends’ to see just the training weekends.

At this moment in time, all the dates need to remain provisional due to the uncertainty surrounding the current Coronavirus pandemic, however these are the proposed dates

As of 25/07/2020 the travel situation between the UK and the Netherlands allows for free travel, without quarantine required at either side, but we are monitoring the situation. A lot can change over the next 2-3 months.

In the meantime, we wish everyone good health and look forward to when we can all meet up again on the ice.
