More info about the race:
Gainesville's only annual longboard skateboard event is back for the 5th year in a row! Fun for all ages at the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail. This event will be held as a fundraiser for Skateistan: an international non-profit empowering youth through skateboarding and education in Afghanistan, Cambodia and South Africa (for more info see skateistan.org).
THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AND IS BEGINNER-FRIENDLY. Anyone can compete as long as they have a helmet (**REQUIRED**) and are registered to ride. Spectators are welcome as well.
The event will consist of:
- 2-mile race on mainly flat land (very beginner friendly)
- 10k race that includes small hills and turns (top speed ~25mph)
- Flatground freestyle/dance competition (a few small ramps/features added)
- Miniramp contest
- Miscellaneous mini-contests for prizes
- Raffles for an assortment of sponsor product
Sign-in begins at 11:00 A.M. and push off for the first race is at noon sharp. Registration day of the event instead of online will cost an additional $5. Mini-ramp and freestyle contests are free for registered racers, otherwise it's a $5 registration fee.
Don't forget to bring cash for the raffles; we will be giving out a ton of prizes and all the money from entry fees and raffles goes straight to charity!
Any questions, comments, or sponsorship inquiries? Feel free to Facebook message Neena Beena (Schueller), or email [email protected]. You can also stop by Freeride Surf & Skate Shop in Gainesville for more info.
