I read on another board that there will be an inline skate marathon at WDW on March 30th. I have never heard of this before. Can anyone confirm this? Or does anyone have any more info? I am not a runner, but I could skate 13 or even 26 miles! I would love it! What I would really like is a bicycle race at WDW!!!! I would sign up for that in a NY minute!!! Anyway, if anyone knows anything about this skate marathon, please post some info. I have days left on my hoppers, and they are burning a hole in my pocket!!!!TIA!!!!:p
 
I got my answer from WDW sports by calling the DC! They are having one on Marh 30th! Now to see if I can rake up the $'s for me amd my son to go!:p
 
I got this from the disney website. I in-line skate on a regular basis and thought about entering it.

March 30, 2003
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.
