Speed skating is an ice sport that involves racing on skates around an oval track, focusing on speed, endurance and precise technique. It is typically carried out on indoor or outdoor ice rinks, with skaters following set lanes and race formats designed for smooth, continuous movement.
ActivitySure can cover speed skating on an amateur, non-professional basis when you are taking part abroad, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Because speed skating involves high speeds on hard ice surfaces, it is important to ensure your travel insurance is suitable before training or taking part in organised events.

Destination Insight
Speed skating is deeply rooted in the Netherlands, where both indoor ovals and frozen canals are used during the winter months, and community skating events are a long-standing tradition. The sport is also well established in Norway, where cold winters and strong sporting infrastructure support both recreational and organised skating. In Canada, speed skating is widely practised on indoor rinks, with clubs and local competitions welcoming visiting skaters.
Many travellers take part as part of organised training sessions or amateur events rather than professional competition.
Speed skating involves rapid acceleration, tight turns and close proximity to other skaters. Falls on ice can lead to cuts, fractures or joint injuries, which may require medical treatment or follow-up care. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if you are injured while speed skating abroad.
