Marathon Speedskating: Testing the limits of speed and endurance, against the backdrop of a frozen lakeshore
Take to the start with hundreds of others who, just like you, feel the blood hot in their veins against the cold of the air on their barely-exposed faces.
Take off over the roughened ice, to quickly become part of the surging pace that only so many skaters can create.
Whether racing over 100 laps of a 440-meter oval, taking on the 200-kilometers of lakeshore loops on the Austrian Weissensee, or becoming a part of skating history in the mythical Dutch Elfstedentocht, Marathon skating places unique demands on the materials and on the athlete.
Expect to see CadoMotus marathon speedskating materials soon. Innovative boot and blade technologies developed and tuned to the high stresses, the variations and the environmental factors unique to marathon speedskating and speedskating on natural ice. The younger sibling of longtrack speedskating is soon to get its own skates.
