Rules & gear

Skate safe, race fair

The essentials every skater and parent should know before race day.

A certified helmet is mandatory for every skater, in every race — no helmet, no start.
Knee, elbow and wrist guards are required for all Kids categories and strongly recommended for everyone else.
Only inline skates are allowed and they must be in safe working order.
Use the wheel size for your age group (see the wheel size guide above). 125 mm wheels are not allowed in track races.
Some races run in heats, depending on entries per category.
Listen to the marshals at all times — their calls keep everyone safe on track.
Arrive at least one hour before your first race to check in and warm up.
