Today is Tuesday, September 9th, 2025 and on this day in 2000, American skating champion Chad Hedrick won the inline skating division at the Berlin Marathon.

 

In this episode, we’ll learn more about the world’s largest inline marathon, as well as the only Abbott World Major with a skating division, and then sit down for a conversation with Hedrick himself to hear about a very different side of marathoning.
