On 04/22/2021 Berlin hosted the WIC & shortly after will cross the ocean to the USA, in Sarasota, Florida to host the race at the beautiful Benderson Park on 10/17/2021. After negotiations with the organizers were finalized, an agreement was reached on a race under the Florida sun on October 17th. Since the race, like the marathon in Dijon, France, will take place after the official final in Berlin, the marathon in Sarasota will receive the status of an Associated World Inline Cup Race. This means that the race will be an official part of the WORLD INLINE CUP. The points will not be included in the overall ranking for this race.
“We are very pleased to be an official part of the WORLD INLINE CUP race circuit with the Florida Inline Skating Marathon in 2021 and are excited about the season in the coming year”, comments Jan Michael Mason, President of the Florida Inline Skating Marathon in Sarasota, Florida.
