SKATE CHALLENGE: *FREE GIFTS TO FIRST 50 SKATERS REGISTERED!! Got
a bucket list? Well this should be on it! This year's skate challenge
will be a long race, circling the Munroe Falls Lake. You will skate over
bridges and hills, and learn from other experienced skaters in the
process. This is a gateway race for all those wanting to start competing
in outdoor skate races/marathons. (We have added a 5K option for those
who asked.) You will also get the chance to have some fun!!! For those
who aren't trying to set land-speed records, come out and have a blast
skating around the park with your favorite Derby skaters while listening
to music from our DJ, or sign up with a friend and wear matching
COSTUMES! (Would love to give a special gift to anyone showing up with a
costume!) The important thing here is that you GET THERE. Half the
battle is showing up at the starting line. To reward those who have the
GUTS TO GET THERE, we will make sure that everyone who preregisters for the race (and shows up) receives a tshirt.
