The Park Ridge Speedskating Club will be holding its annual Park Ridge Open short track meet at the Franklin Park Ice Arena on Saturday November 9th from 12:00-6:00 PM. This race is part of the Midwest Racing Series, which makes it an ideal developmental race for up and coming skaters. All participants will receive a helmet sticker for doing this meet. There will also be a $150 cash award for the fastest 1000 m for men and ladies.

This race will be an ability meet, with each of the groupings named as a tribute to Park Ridge places and history. While the friendly confines of the Oakton Ice Arena are closed for renovation this year, the club will be back on home ice for the 2025 season. Park Ridge is grateful to have Franklin Park as the host site this year. The Franklin Park Barrel Buster will be held the following morning at the same rink but will have its own registration form. You can have 2 days of racing by doing both the PR Open and the Barrel Buster on Sunday Nov. 10th.
