HISTORY

What is the Red Rock Cup?

The Red Rock Cup is an annual long-distance skating race held on the natural ice of Lake Superior near Red Rock, Ontario. Inspired by historic endurance skating traditions, the event brings together community, outdoor adventure, and winter culture in a uniquely Northern Ontario setting.

TRACK/RINK PROGRESS

Follow the build

Construction of the Red Rock Cup rink and track began on Saturday, January 7, as volunteers and organizers took the first steps toward transforming Lake Superior’s natural ice into a long-distance skating course.

The rink and first 10km of the track were made on February 8th, with the first flood taking place on February 9th.​
