Pioneer Speedskating
The Bemidji Speedskating Club practices short track indoors at the Neilson-Reise Ice Arena (next to the curling club) until the end of February (Map).
- Practice is held on Sunday afternoons from 4:15 to 5:15 PM.
- The club has approximately 25 skaters who range in age from 5 to 88.
- During the winter, the Bemidji Speedskating Club also practices outdoors on a 400 m lake oval on Lake Bemidji.
- Summer training begins in May.
- “Learn-to-Skate” now has a “Learn-to-Speedskate” badge program available. It’s a great way to get started.
