Canada IM has updated their website. The Google French translation is "Canada Roller Marathon is evaluating the possibily to be back in 2020 with the Covid 19"
-
Northshore updated their website: "As of June 2020, the NorthShore Inline Marathon and Skate Fest is moving forward as normal."
-
A2A has been cancelled. All the logistics with multiple police jurisdictions including Atlanta would have been tough for multiple reasons this year. I suspect NYC will also be tough to arrange. Duluth hasn't updated since early May. Based on t…

ROTR has been cancelled. They announced they'd be back next year. They deferred pre-registrations to next year's race.
-
Not a cancellation! The Summer Inline Series in Roseville, MN starts June 17. This is the first outdoor racing I'm aware of nationally. This gives me hope for Northshore to happen.

Based on the ROTR survey, there's a snowball's chance in hell of them holding the race. If Pennsylvania starts processing park permits, I believe we will have ESS races this summer. I have doubts about everything else, especially if they have the …

There is a FB post cancelling the June Eastern Seaboard Series (ESS). There hasn't been a June ESS in years as the nearby SOTU and Connecticut Marathons are in June. I guess they were considering filling the void with SOTU being cancelled and Conn…

Rollin' on the River is asking for feedback about holding the race. They will make a decision June 15. From the website: "At this time our planning committee is monitoring the North Dakota State Guidelines for events. Currently we do not know…

When switching from 4x110, I was concerned about stability on shorter frames, but got feedback that 12.8" was a suitable length for speedskaters. I have been very happy with 12.8".

Skate of the Union website changed today to say it will be "virtual" this year. Booo. I'm still hopeful for the July Eastern Seaboard Series, but the Pennsylvania Governor seems to have a stick stuck up his butt....
-
The ESS facebook site says the May ESS race is cancelled due to the PA governor extending an order against group gatherings until June 4. Boo. The next ESS race is typically late July.

Chicagoland website has changed the date to 2021. There is a cryptic message indicating no race this year: "While we would love to be putting on this event for you in a few short weeks, we are looking forward to next year when the environment …

The website now lists the race as 2021. There is a cryptic message that indicate it has been cancelled for this year: "While we would love to be putting on this event for you in a few short weeks, we are looking forward to next year when the e…

Berlin has been cancelled due to government restrictions on large events over 5000 people being extended into October. The Northshore website has an April update that the are still planning on having their race, though they passively aggressively m…

Getting back to the original problem, there isn't a conflict anymore. I haven't been to the Chicagoland race in years, but have heard the course adjustments are a positive. From my standpoint, I'm looking for a decent number of pro masters skaters…

Eastern Seaboard Series (ESS) has FB posted that the Lehigh Valley Parks has suspended all permits until further notice. Having said that, these races can be quickly scheduled when conditions improve. The optimist in me still thinks the Memorial D…

Yup, I totally agree. Sounds to me that the cabin owners that hate all the out of towners took the virus as an opportunity to get their way at the expense of the tourist dependent businesses. I won't say what I'm really thinking, but I wonder what…

Apostle has cancelled. Though they have not been affected, they feared having out of towners bringing the virus into their area.
-
Apostle cancelled today. They were concerned with having out of owners coming into the area and bringing the virus.
-
No one knows for sure how this will develop, but I agree with Jim. Apostle already has 78 online registrations and have not listed mail-in regs like mine (they haven't cashed the check either, which does make me wonder a little). Unlike Chicago, A…
-
I have noticed that ESS (Trexlertown) has been strangely quiet about potential dates. I'd be surprised if the typical Memorial Day weekend races happen. I wouldn't be surprised if permitting is on hold putting July, August, and September up in the…
-
The Chicago date would be rough for Chicago. Will all the Chicago skaters even skip Apostle (the best race out there IMO)? Years ago, Big Granite (Ashland, WI) and a race near Portage, WI were on back to back days and some of us did both pretty ea…
