Is There An Inline Skating Marathon in Your Future?

Friday April 4, 2008
In addition to North American and International marathon events, there are fundraising races, festivals and local marathons that raise awareness and money for a lot of good causes. Many skaters use these activities and other competitive speed events as the foundation for vacation trips, if the destination is a good one.

Inline skating marathon events are taking place all over the world, so there's probably one taking place near you. Marathons are a wonderful way for you to improve your skating skills, set fitness goals and take on an exciting inline skating challenge. You don't have to be a champion speed skater to participate in an inline skating marathon. The majority of marathon skaters are recreational inline skaters, and many marathons have alternatave routes or distances to accomodate non-competitive skaters, non-pro level skaters. After all, there are a whole lot of people who will consider skating for 26 miles before they will run run that far.
