The Washington Area Roadskaters (WAR) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to promote safe and enjoyable skating in the Washington, D.C. area. WAR was founded in 1987 as Washington Area Rollerskaters and is one of the oldest skate clubs in the US. Thousands of individuals have joined together to safely enjoy inline and roller skating in the streets of our fine city.
WAR is also a social organization where many strong and lasting friendships are formed. Our members have very diverse career, social, and educational backgrounds, all sharing a passion for skating. If you are new to the area, are seeking a new form of exercise, or are simply looking to meet new and interesting people, we encourage you to try one of our group skates, meet us, and see D.C. in a whole new way.
