This is a timed event around a 7-pylon course.  Competitors in this event will start standing up in the goal crease (with their stick but without a ring).  The whistle/horn will blow to start the race.  The skater will proceed to the first pylon, which will be located on the Free Play Line.  They will pivot around this pylon and proceed to the next pylon, continuing down the course.  Once they pivot around the last pylon, located on the Free Play Line at the opposite end of the ice surface they will skate backwards between the pylons to the centre ice line, then pivot to forwards and race to the Free Play Line at the end of the ice where they started.  Time will begin when the skater passes through the automatic timer and stop when the skater crosses back through the timer/finish line.  The skater must remain on their course at all times during their race.  Knocking over a pylon doesn’t disqualify the skater, however cutting inside the pylon instead of pivoting around the outside, will disqualify the skater.  There will be two courses on the ice surface. Three heats will be run.
