SKATE CHALLENGE: *FREE GIFTS TO FIRST 50 SKATERS REGISTERED!! Got a bucket list? Well this should be on it! This year's skate challenge will be a long race, circling the Munroe Falls Lake. You will skate over bridges and hills, and learn from other experienced skaters in the process. This is a gateway race for all those wanting to start competing in outdoor skate races/marathons. (We have added a 5K option for those who asked.) You will also get the chance to have some fun!!! For those who aren't trying to set land-speed records, come out and have a blast skating around the park with your favorite Derby skaters from the area, or sign up with a friend and wear matching COSTUMES! (Would love to give a special gift to anyone showing up with a costume!) The important thing here is that you GET THERE. Half the battle is showing up at the starting line. *To reward those who have the GUTS TO GET THERE, we will make sure that everyone who registers to race and starts receives a tshirt.

SCRIMMAGES/GAMES: More details coming soon! If you are interested in a Derby Scrimmage demonstration, or a mini hockey pick-up game, contact misty@portageskates.info. The Portage Park 'n Roll is a charity event and any proceeds beyond the cost of the event will be used towards other skating events and charities that support skaters and the trails that they skate on (Information about this year's charitable donation will be posted by the Portage Skates committee at the Park 'n Roll.
