International Big Rideau Lake Speed Skating Marathon

International Big Rideau Lake Speed Skating Marathon

The International Big Rideau Lake Speed Skating Marathon is an annual speed skating competition held in Ontario, Canada. The event takes place on a 1km marked out track on the Big Rideau lake.

Besides hosting the Official 2006 North American Marathon Skating Championship - two races of 25km and 50km, other races take place in the event; such as two shorter races of 5km and 10km, and a team relay race. Skaters in the 25 and 50K races can earn points, which will go towards the overall '2005-2006 Marathon Skating International Points Series'.

Last year, over 1,500 spectators arrived to cheer on 150 skaters from all over the globe - mainly Canada, the USA, Mexico, Australia and the Netherlands.
