Worley Memorial Speed Skating Marathon Slated for January 14th
The story behind the 1st Annual Charley Worley Speedskating Marathon begins with a tale about an individual who earned the respect of many across the community for his selflessness and commitment to the skating world. Turns out Charley Worley was extremely instrumental in his contribution to the High Altitude Skating Center for many years and was even deemed the "Ice Meister" by those who knew him. He spent many hours grooming the ice at the Butte High Altitude Skating Center, which led to a significant amount of world records gracing the rink. It would be safe to say that his understanding of the rink came from his time as a speed skater himself. He knew what and how it needed to be maintained and he took pride in the process.
