*UPDATED 1/28 AT 1:20PM*
Due to the recent snowfall and the potential for additional winter weather this weekend, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this weekend's (Jan. 31 - Feb. 1) Speed Skating Championships in Virginia Beach. This event will not be rescheduled.
The safety of our athletes, families, coaches, volunteers and spectators is always our top priority.
We understand this is disappointing news, especially after the time and effort put into preparing for the weekend, and we truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility.
Thank you for your continued support of Special Olympics Virginia.
