The Red Bull Crashed Ice downhill races will return to St. Paul in February.

The city will host the finale for the races for the first time next year. It will be the fifth year in a row that the downhill skating competition will be held in the city, starting at the Cathedral of St. Paul and extending down the hill to near Interstate 35E.

The races are set for Feb. 26 and 27. The 2016 version will also feature a women's championship for the first time. Women raced last year but not in all the Red Bull Crashed Ice events.

The Crashed Ice series starts in Quebec, Canada, this year. It then moves to Germany, Finland and back to Minnesota.
