Men's Inline Racing Track Speed Records

A Who's Who of Men's Inline Speed Skating

clr gif
Outdoor speed skating is the international standard and is categorized into road and track racing. Road race courses usually take the form of an irregular closed loop with no bank on either side, or an actual stretch of closed road. These courses require constant power, with little or no opportunity to coast, so endurance is a key factor in success. Track races, however, are on a closed, oval course usually measuring 200 meters and featuring banked sides.

Regardless of age or gender, inline speed skaters share a determination to race as fast and as far as they can. The current world speed records are shown below for men's inline track racing.
