Elite and Open Marathon -- 26 miles

Goodwood roller marathon took place on sunday, The weather was played a big roll on sunday, the wind picked up as the day went on, luckily there was only a little rain throughout the day.

The Full marathon was won by Stefano Mogno, From the line Stefano along with team mates Gavin pollock, Hans Brown and Ghizlane Samir were straight up to the front. After just two laps the lead group was down to 8 people. At around the 8th lap Stefano Picked up the pace for most of the Climb, This shrunk the group down to just 5 skaters. On the last lap Stefano made a break from the rest of the lead group (Gavin, Ghizlane and James) Finishing in a time of 1:17.06. The Mega Marathon was won by James who after finishing with stefano and getting a little help along his way from the london skater, finished the rest of the race skating with fellow team mate Michael Mcinerney.

Well Done to all those who helped out and took part.

2008 Season  

The first race on the 2008 FISS calendar wil be the Ashbourne RSC indoor race meeting to be held at Ashbourne Leisure Centre, Ashbourne, Derbyshire on January 20th. Entry will cost £10 per FISS registered skater which can be paid on the FISS website or by post to head office.

 http://www.inlinespeed.co.uk

You can also pay on the day but entry will  cost £12 (£2 extra)

     If you fancy a go at a skating race but aren't ready to join FISS, then every FISS track and indoor event includes races just for you! Called RAT (originally Rink and Trick Skaters) racing, you can skate in inlines or quads and give it a go! The cost last year was £2 per event, and for that you get 2 races spread through the programme. The only things that you need other than your skates are a crash hat/helmet (If you don't have one don't buy one especially - we usually have some that you can borrow) and if you are under 18 you will need a parental signature in order to skate. RAT races are lots of fun and usually have skaters of all abilities and ages in them, so don't be shy - come and have a go!

Entry to FISS races for spectators is free unless indicated otherwise
