Located in Chicago, Team Rainbo is one the country’s oldest and most successful inline speedskating clubs. What makes us different is how we measure success - by participation, not performance. We focus on the average person who enjoys skating. The value of each member is measured by how many races they attend more than how they finish. Anybody can become a member. All that’s required is a desire to skate.

Many new members start with recreation/fitness skates. Since the club is so active and the talent level so diverse, there is always someone with whom you can skate. Team “old timers” take pride in helping the new guys and gals - and that’s another measure of success on our team - how much you give back to the team.

On Team Rainbo, it’s what can you do for the team, not what the team can do for you. Due to this team philosophy, we enjoy more than our share of winners at any race we attend. Our members are very competitive. However, the spirit of cooperation is deeply woven into that competitive spirit. While we’re based in the Chicagoland area, we have many members from different states across the nation.

Whether you’re looking to get started in speedskating or if you’re an elite skater looking for challenging training partners, Team Rainbo is the team with something for everybody.
