With 23 years of tradition, Athens-to-Atlanta is the oldest and most famous road skate in America. Starting in Athens, Georgia, participants skate through beautiful country roads and quiet suburbia before navigating city streets and triumphantly crossing the 87-mile finish line in Atlanta's Piedmont Park.

The course is challenging and requires experienced skating ability, courage, and stamina. Skaters who may not be ready for the whole 87 miles may opt for the 38-mile event, which also starts in Athens, or the latest 52-mile event, which starts near Dacula, GA. Both four and five wheeled skates are welcome and anyone from 8 to 80 years old may enter.

The D‰fi de L'ðle de Montr‰al (Montr‰al Island Challenge) is a 128-kilometre race on inline skates around the Island of Montr‰al. It has been held every year since 1996 on the third Saturday in October, when the weather is ideal for skating and the fall colors are at their best. The next D‰fi will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2007.

A race, you say? Officially the D‰fi is not a race, so how fast you take it is up to you. Speedskaters and fitness buffs - anyone who loves inline skating - will find the D‰fi a fun and rewarding experience. Since much of the route is through beautiful parks, no one will blame you if you take your time and enjoy the sights. On the other hand, if you like speed and a good hard challenge, this course will soak up everything you can give. To earn a gold medal, finish within 8 hours; for silver, within 10 hours; for bronze, within 12 hours.
