Race info

(Bullet points don’t require punctuation)

All divisions of the race will be held on a 7.2 mile clockwise loop. 11.5K entrants will complete a single lap of the course, and the Moreathon and relay team entrants will complete 4 laps of the course, totaling 28.8 miles. The loop is hilly, but each downhill rolls out. Skaters must be comfortable controlling their speed downhill, and completing a right-hand turn on a downhill slope. The loop has one right-hand turn close to the start/finish line which will be monitored by a course marshal. The loop is an open, low traffic, road course. Skaters must observe the "yellow line rule", that is, they must not cross the yellow line during the event. In approximately the last 200 meters leading up to the start/finish line the road splits into 2 lanes. This section of the course is our designated relay zone. The left lane will be used by all solo skaters, to provide room for the relay skaters to safely make baton hand offs in the main traveling lane. Solo skaters will merge back in to the main traveling lane before crossing the start/finish line. (see diagram below for more info on the relay zone). Safety Info

Helmets are required for all participants. Wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads are recommended for added personal safety

Each event will be led out by a police vehicle, with additional supporting course marshals on civilian motorcycles. Event Options & Schedule Event Schedule

I reworked copy extensively on this page, and there are many other issues open for this that can relate back.
