MAKE PLANS NOW |
| Skaters will roll past the vineyards and wineries along a 7 mile closed section of the Silverado Trail in the world famous Napa Wine Valley. The course is totally closed to traffic for the race. We're planning 3 days of skating starting with the San Francisco Friday Night Skate, a winery tour and Calistoga Skate Party on Saturday and the Napa Valley Inline Marathon and picnic on Sunday. |

The course has
everything that makes a fantastic roadskate from the long stretches of flatland to
rolling hills - some that will fill your need for speed. The road is very smooth
"black ice" asphalt all the way and will be totally closed to cars during the
event. This year, we will continue to have two distances for participants. We have the traditional 26.2 mile marathon and a 13.1 mile half marathon distance for recreational and fitness skaters new to roadskating. |
LODGING IN CALISTOGA Finding a place to stay in the Napa Valley is always a difficult situation as the Napa Wine Country is a very popular place where people plan many months in advance to visit. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to find a hotel. We are meeting The Silver Rose Winery / Spa / Inn in Calistoga has served as our host hotel in the past, however it is being sold and their participation in 2008 is unsure at best. The best way to attend this event is to camp out. The Calistoga Fairgrounds is a fantastic place to camp out in July. If camping is not your style, the best place to stay is the Napa Valley Redwood Inn. This is one of the few places where you can stay in the Napa Valley without the two-night minimum. This is where the skaters usually stay when we start the roadskate. One night stay is $125.00 for a room with one bed and $137.00 for 2 beds. There is a 10% discount for AAA members. The address is 3380 Solano Ave. Phone number is 707-257-6111. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO ON THE NAPA VALLEY REDWOOD INN |

IS THIS FOR RACERS ONLY OR CAN ANYONE SKATE ?
The Napa Valley Inline Marathon and Half Marathon is designed to give all levels of skaters a fantastic skating experience. It's great racing for the hard core racers. It's a high mark of accomplishment for the fitness skater or enthusiast. It's an absolute blast for the recreational skater. There is a little something for all. You can wear 4 wheel blades, 5 wheel blades or even "quad" conventional roller skates. Please remember that helmets are mandatory in all C.O.R.A. events. Wrist, hand, knee pads and elbow pads are very strongly advised. |
 We have put together the newspaper and magazine articles and the race results that have been written about the roadskate since the first one in 1993. Read the stories from the humble beginnings of the race to confrontations with the California Highway Patrol and back to the good graces of the Calistoga community.
