There will be a one mile race for the Guinness World Record™, a ½ marathon and a kids/beginners race. The International distance skateboard association will sanction this Flager ½ Marathon and 1 Mile Guinness World Record™ longboard race to help grow the sport as well as provide insurance for the event.
