Brief Description

The 2nd Annual Houston Inline Marathon is a great opportunity for inline and quad skaters of all skill levels to get together for a fun and exciting weekend of racing, casual skating, and cameraderie. Saturday will feature a Skating Expo and a pre-race party. The roadskating marathon, half-marathon, and casual Fun Skate will take place Sunday morning on beautiful Allen Parkway in the heart of Houston. Come join us!

 

LATE REGISTRATION PRICING

Prices for Late Registration at the Last Concert Café (Saturday, 1-5pm) or at Eleanor Tinsley Park (Sunday, 7-8am) are:

Full Marathon (all divisions) : $84
Half Marathon (all divisions) : $62
“Easy Street” Fun Skate : FREE!

 

Pro Marathon Race

The Pro Marathon race will be divided into Elite (any age), Masters (age 35+), and [*NEW FOR 2008*] Veterans (age 50+) divisions. Pro racers may “challenge up” by registering in a younger age division if they wish; all age divisions will start and race together.

 

Open (non-Pro) Marathon and Half-Marathon

The Open Marathon and Half-Marathon events will be divided into age groups for the purpose of awards. Age groups will be: Preteen (under 13), Teen (13–19), 20–29, 30–39, 40–49, 50–59, 60–69, and 70+. (Preteen race entries are subject to official approval.) In the Open divisions, all skaters will start together, and may skate and draft together regardless of age or gender.

 

**NEW FOR 2008** — Quad Divisions!

New this year, skaters on quads (traditional roller skates) will have their own divisions within the Open races, and will be able to skate for their own awards!

 

“Easy Street” Fun Skate

The non-competitive “Easy Street” Fun Skate is for individuals and families who are new to skating, or simply interested in a more casual skating experience.

 

Race Timing

All racers will be electronically identified and timed using the AMB-IT matless timing system. All Pro racers will be issued two timing chips (one for each ankle) to ensure accurate timing results.
