The Great Skate is an outdoor race hosted by November Project Winnipeg that began in 2016 as a way to get Winnipeggers out on the river trail to take advantage of winter and show off their skating prowess. Every year, the event has grown in popularity and we have seen our Great Skaters come out on days colder than minus 40 to participate! We are a hearty bunch, so we dress for the weather and lace up anyway.

Last year, movement along the river trail was introduced and very well received! We are excited to once again invite you to either skate ON the trail, or move ALONGSIDE it!

This year's Great Skate will once again support our friends at The Dream Factory, a local charity that makes dreams come true for kids in our community battling life-threatening illnesses. Last year, we raised over $3,500 to help bring dreams to life for kids in our community.
