- What is Squiggy Classic Inline?
It is 3 days of skating. Social skate Friday night, timetrial Saturday noon and Sunday morning we have a marathon and half marathon.
- Is the course hilly?
No, the course is totally flat. It is a 6.88 loop, that has very smooth asphalt.
- Is the race primarily for younger skaters?
No, the skate is for everybody. At the moment all ages between 9 and 76 are represented.
- Are there water stations along the course? Will Gatorade or other sports drinks be available at the water stations and what flavor?
Yes, we have a water station just after the start, so every 7 miles you will be able to get water. The water is served in cups but we highly recommend that you carry your own water bottle as well. On the trail there are 3 tap-water stations, but you have to stop the race and get the water yourself. Sports drinks may be available at the water station and finish area - but we can not guarantee brand or flavor.
- Do you have Porta Potties along the route?
No, we have no Porta Potties except in the finishing area - but since it is a loop course you will pass the Porta's every 7miles or so!
- May I pick up the race packet in the morning of the race?
Yes, from 7am to 8am at the Ranger Station. After 8am you can no longer pick up your packet! We recommend that you pick up your race packet Friday night at the Skate in the Dark. We are at the Ranger Station from 6pm till 9pm. You can also pick it up Saturday between 10am and 2pm.
- Can a friend pick up the packet for me?
Yes, but bring a signed note from your friend, with name and date of birth clearly stated.
- May I register on the morning of the race?
No, we recommend to register prior to the race, but Friday from 6pm to 9pm and Saturday from 10am to 2pm you will be able to register. Cash only, if you choose not to preregister.
- Can I switch my finisher t-shirt for a different size?
When all t-shirt has been distributed and everybody have gotten the size that they ordered, you may try to switch to another size than original ordered.
- Can I change my race category?
Category or race distance can be changed until Saturday at 2pm.

- Is cross drafting allowed?
Yes it is.
- How can I volunteer for this event?
Please email info@squiggyclassicinline.com. We need your help, even if it is only for 1 hr. Thanks in advance! :-)
- Rolling start or?
No, the start is a "standing start" and with a clear signal when to start. First all marathon skaters will start at the same time, so please be considerate where you place yourself. If you know that you are not going to race very fast, please stay to the back of the line. The top racers will very soon be out of sight, and then there will be plenty of room for you to go ahead. Then we will go back the about ½mile to start the half marathon. Again everybody start at the same time, so do be realistic with your own abilities and please let the skaters that you know are faster than you, get to the front. If there will be more skaters than we safely can send off at one time, we will then make the start into waves.
- Is there a cut off time for each event?
No, we will wait for you to finish the event in the time that you need.
- Where can I park?
You can park at the Ranger Station and on the sides of the trail leading to the "Y". See map for details.
- What if it rains? Are their refunds? Can I transfer my registration fee to a different event or to next year?

at the race organizer's sole discretion. There are no refunds in the event of rain, cancellation, or for any other reason. Entry fees cannot be transferred to different events or dates.
