Don't miss your chance to be a part of inline skating history. Skate around the world on March 30, 2003 at the inaugural WALT DISNEY WORLD® Inline Marathon. The adventure begins at Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex, where the loop course whisks skaters to tinsel town at the Disney-MGM Studios. After parading down Hollywood Boulevard, skaters stroll along a charming coastal village at Disney's BoardWalk Resort. Then it's on to Epcot® and the eleven great nations of the World Showcase before circling back to Disney's Wide World of Sports® Complex for a rewarding finish- but only if you're participating in the half marathon. Marathoners circle back for a second loop to complete 26.2 miles.
