We want to invite you to join us this year for our 19th year of the longest running 100K Ultra Marathon race in the world (not to worry we also have a 42K Marathon and 21K half marathon distance as well as a 5K one lap recreational race in Beautiful Prospect Park, Yes is true that we have some of the toughest pro's in the world of speed skating coming to race for the coveted title of 100K champion, but there is a place for everyone from recreational skaters on high boots to quad skaters and everyone in between)

This is a very special year as we are going into unknown territory. We're not only going to have a race but a weekend full of events starting with Friday's expo at the Skyline hotel. That evening we will also have a short recreational skate throughout the city of New York for those of you who want to stretch your legs before the race and for those of you who have never seen the Big Apple on skates!

Saturday Morning is race time. Please remember that this year the race starts at 7:00AM instead of 8:30AM as in previous years.

Saturday afternoon we will have the expo and award ceremony for all the Advance 21K, 42K & 100K races as well as all the elite division skaters at the Skyline hotel starting at 5PM. But not to worry, if you can't make the award ceremony, we will give you your award at race site. Just contact the awards director.

PLEASE NOTE: all other races will be awarded at race site soon after each race is completed.

Saturday Night we have our after party (following the award ceremony) the party location is within walking distance of the Skyline hotel! Stay tuned for more details!

Sunday morning at 10:00AM we will have our Skate Marathon clinic with Empire's Francisco Ramirez plus some guest pro elite skaters leading the clinic, cost for the clinic is $20 if you pre-register or $30 on site. (Please Note: we need at least 10 people to pre-register for the clinic to take place. To pre-register and more info please go to the skate marathon web site (http://skatemarathon.org/Skate_Marathon/Skate_Clinic.html)
