THREE DISTANCE OPTIONS: 87 MILES / 52.4 MILES / 38 MILES
As before, we are offering the 52.4 mile "double marathon" as well as the traditional 87 and 38 mile options. The 87 and 38 mile events start in Athens, GA, at the Classic Center, 7:30 a.m. sharp. The 52.4 mile "double marathon" skaters may board a bus immediately after the 87 and 38 mile start for a short ride to the 10 a.m., 52.4 mile event start. "Double marathon" skaters will join the traditional route just west of Dacula, then continue on to the finish in Atlanta, GA, along with 87 mile skaters who are still on the course.

The road courses (87, 52.4, and 38 mi.) are challenging and requires experienced skating ability, courage, and stamina.
