The Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon was a series of international longboard racing events held from 2010 through 2017. Each race was on a 42.195-kilometre (26.219 mi) course on a skateboard that must be pushed by foot. The event was owned and operated by Adrenalina / Nata Media Inc.[1]
The first Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon took place on November 6, 2010, at Gulfstream Park in Hallandale Beach, Florida.[2] One hundred and twenty-five people participated in the event and there were three hundred people total in attendance. A large international field was drawn, due to the fact it was the largest prize purse to date,[3][4] including a ten thousand dollar grand prize. Jeff Vyain was the first winner of the event. He set a world record with a time of 1:40:58.[5][6][7]
From 2012 to 2017 it was held in San Diego, California.[1]
A long-term goal for the race was to create awareness and a perception that longboard skateboarding can be used as a viable and legal alternative mode of transportation.[8]
Committed to not only fitness and endurance, the Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon also supported the community. A portion of each registration fee was be donated to Summit4StemCell.
