The best club and brand team skaters from three continents head to Xinhua, China, from 13 to 15 November for the season-ending showdown. Registration is now open until 6 November.
The road through the Continental Track Series ends in Xinhua. From 13 to 15 November 2026, the city in Hunan Province, People's Republic of China, will host the second edition of the Speed Track Series World Cup Final, the Senior event that brings together the top-ranked club and brand team athletes of the season.
Good news for skaters still finalising their plans: World Skate has extended the registration deadline to 6 November 2026.
Who can race
Registrations are open to all Senior athletes through the Forms link.
This is a club competition: skaters race in their club or sponsor team skinsuit, and national team uniforms are not allowed.
The races
Over two days of competition, athletes will contest four rankings (Women and Men, Short and Long Distance):
- Short Distance: 200m Dual Time Trial and 500m +D Sprint
- Long Distance: 5,000m Points Race and 10,000m Elimination Race
The programme opens on 13 November with official training. On 14 November the 200m DTT and the 5,000m Points Race go from qualification to final in a single day, while 15 November closes the event with the 500m +D Sprint (from qualifications to final) and the 10,000m Elimination Race.
USD 40,000 in prize money
A total prize pool of USD 40,000 will be shared among the top 10 in each of the four overall rankings, with USD 10,000 per ranking and USD 3,000 going to each winner.
How to register
Registration runs through the World Skate Infinity Platform, available on desktop and on the Android and iOS apps. Athletes and coaches must complete the dedicated Google Form and create their profile on Infinity. World Skate will then verify each application, confirm athletes and register them on the platform. Once registered, athletes receive an email notification and complete their entry by paying the USD 100 registration fee directly in Infinity, by card or bank transfer (bank transfers require the proof of payment to be uploaded on the platform).
All athletes and staff must also upload a valid Anti-Doping Training Course Certificate (WADA ADEL, ITA, National Anti-Doping Agencies or World Skate, issued in 2024, 2025 or 2026).
