Athens-to-Atlanta is for road skaters of every flavor - fitness, recreational, speed skaters, inline or quad, pro and team skaters - Athens-to-Atlanta is the most anticipated event on the calendar of skaters the world over: from Italy to San Diego, from Germany to Korea, from China to Boston, from Sweden to Japan, from Montreal to Colombia, from Tahiti to The Skate Farm... the training season for the skating-year culminates in one of several distance events offered by Athens-to-Atlanta.

Speed skating is not required, but fun and a spirit of camaraderie are mandatory. In addition to the top world speed skaters, we regularly have some folks come in hours after the clock is turned off, and they get a standing ovation at the awards ceremony: for perseverance. That's the spirit of Athens-to-Atlanta.

Old friends gather on Friday night to survey the skylines of mid- and downtown Atlanta, celebrate on Saturday with a fun-skate in downtown Athens, and tighten their laces at dawn on Sunday morning for the 7:30 departure for the skate to Piedmont Park in Atlanta - 87 miles away. Whether you plan to skate the 38 Mile Marathon-Plus, the 52.4 Mile Double Marathon, or the 87 Mile Ultra Marathon - you'll find extraordinary challenges, competition and friendships in every mile.
