NEW - The Southern Roll 2026 roller ski challenges

All about these roller ski challenges

LRNSC is introducing a series of fun roller ski challenges from March through to November.  They're free to enter, open to any Club members [and members of other Snowsport England clubs], and you can take part in as many or as few events as you wish.

All but two of the challenges will be to roller ski as fast as you can for 3km, and you'll always get a timed result so it's a similar idea to Parkrun but on roller skis.  If you take part in several events during the year, you'll be able to measure your progress.  

There are age categories for U14, U18 and Senior, males and females, and a single category for para skiers. Those accumulating the most points from all challenges will be age category winners.

If you can do a few laps of the Hillingdon Cycle circuit, come along and take the challenge! You can also combine each event with a roller ski coaching session. There will be rewards for participants too.
