The Minnesota Inline Skate Club was started in 1996 as the Metro Inline Skate Club. Now in our tenth year of existence, MISC is organized to promote inline skating in the Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area, the rest of Minnesota, and neighboring areas where there are interested skaters.

MISC is committed to promoting inline skating by doing the following:

Providing organized skating events such as the Monday Fun Skate, Friday Fitness Skate, and other special events
Supporting other events and races such as the Minnesota Half Marathon, Metrodome Inline Marathon, and North Shore Inline Marathon
Keeping skaters informed of current and upcoming events through club e-mails and through the club's Web site
Working with government agencies to promote skaters' rights and interests

MISSION STATEMENT

The club's mission is to promote the growth of inline skating in Minnesota by developing a strong community of skaters, improving skating techniques, promoting safe skating, lobbying for skaters' interests, and, most importantly, by having FUN.
