The 2026 edition of Skate the Oval, organized by Speed Skating Manitoba, was held Feb. 1 at Cindy Klassen Recreation Complex, 999 Sargent Ave.

The annual, volunteer-run event was split into two parts – a fundraising initiative for the speed skating association and an accessible introduction to the sport for newbies, kids and adults alike. It raised $2,000 for the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba.

Speed Skating Manitoba organizes several events and programs throughout the winter. For more information, visit speedskatingmb.ca
