Every skater, novice to elite, has a chance to bring home prizes from the second annual Hayward Inline Marathon, Half-Marathon and 39-mile Inline Challenge, which will be held this Saturday morning starting at 7:30 a.m. at Scheer’s Lumberjack Village on Highway B in Hayward.

Two lanes of Highway B will be closed from Lumberjack Bowl to Chippewa Trail from 7-11 a.m. on race day. Cones and barrels will mark the course and officers will direct traffic at intersections. Racers will skate on a 13.1-mile loop of blacktop roads east and south of town and finish at the same spot they started from.

The course traverses Chippewa Trail to Bender Road, crosses Highway B and goes on Highway E to Williams Road, Williams Road, Highline Road, Fun Valley Road and Olker Road, then loops back to the finishing area in front of Lumberjack Village.

Dozens of prizes, from race frames to bike jerseys to gift certificates from local merchants, will be awarded to the winners of hill “prems,” mini-races within the race.
