Time trials (7 mile) will be March 8, starting at 11:00 AM. For individual racers, this will be an opportunity to test yourself on the course and earn rights to advanced starting positions for the marathon. For newer skaters, not yet ready for a full race, this will be a great first competitive event, without the pressure of head-to-head racing. Quad skate and roller ski skaters are also welcome to participate in the time trial.
Team inline racing outdoor will also be introduced to the USA as part of the team time trials. Teams of 3, 4, or 5 skaters start the race. All skaters must stay within 10 meters of each other throughout the race (or the skater who is further is disqualified). The team time is the time of the 3rd skater to cross the finish line.
Skate events are part of the traditional Squiggy festival, a multi-sport event including bicycle races, adventure races, mountain biking and more. For more details: http://www.squiggyclassic.org/. Come spend the weekend, enjoy and cheer other athletes, and then show them the thrills of inline racing.
Event registration will be via active.com or on site throughout the weekend (cash only if registering on site). The number of time trial skaters is limited, so registration for this event may close early.
Registration fee will be $55 for marathon or ½ marathon and that includes free time trial and free night skate. Alternatively you can choose to skate in the time trial or night skate only. The time trial is $20 and the night skate is $5.
Within the registration fee for marathon, ½ marathon and time trials is included an event t-shirt, make sure to let us know your size when you register.
The Squiggy Festival is sponsored by the Wilderness Trails Association, which exists to support the trails of Hillsborough County, and to promote their enjoyment by the public. The Festival is to encourage everyone to enjoy the parks, and to help raise funds to better the parks.
The skate events are co-sponsored by Grow Inline Speed LLC, which promotes inline speed skating and related activities.
