The NorthShore Inline Marathon continues to make waves in the skating community, and 2025 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year! With early bird registration now closed, we’re excited to announce that this year’s marathon has seen one of the largest early bird signups in its history. Skaters from all across the globe, including seasoned veterans and enthusiastic newcomers, are gearing up for the big event, scheduled for September 12-13, 2025, in beautiful Duluth, Minnesota.


A Strong Start for the 2025 Race

Each year, the NorthShore Inline Marathon draws participants from around the world, eager to take on the scenic 26.2-mile course that winds along the stunning Lake Superior shoreline. The early bird registration period offers skaters a chance to lock in their spots at a discounted rate, and 2025 has seen a surge in sign-ups, reflecting the growing popularity of inline skating and the marathon's reputation as one of the premier skating events in North America.

Early bird registrants have come from over 40 states and 15 countries, reinforcing the event’s global appeal. With thousands of skaters already committed to hitting the streets of Duluth next September, the 2025 marathon is on track to be one of the largest in recent memory.




What’s Driving the Excitement?

Several factors have contributed to the incredible early bird registration numbers. The NorthShore Inline Marathon is renowned for its welcoming environment, making it accessible to skaters of all skill levels, from first-time racers to elite athletes. Whether participants are looking to set personal records, compete for the top spots, or simply enjoy the thrill of the race, there’s something for everyone.

This year, the NorthShore Inline Marathon team has also introduced new features and events that are creating additional buzz. The Skate and Health Expo, held over the two days before race day, will feature more than 75 vendors, along with workshops, product demos, and interactive experiences for skaters and fitness enthusiasts. The expansion of this event is drawing more attention to the marathon, encouraging skaters to sign up early to be part of the action.


A Community Event Like No Other

For many skaters, the NorthShore Inline Marathon is more than just a race—it’s a celebration of community, fitness, and the shared passion for skating. From the scenic racecourse along the shores of Lake Superior to the camaraderie among participants, the event creates a memorable experience that keeps skaters coming back year after year.

The strong early bird registration numbers also reflect the tight-knit nature of the inline skating community. Word of mouth, social media buzz, and the sense of tradition surrounding the event have all contributed to the growing excitement. With several races and distances available, including the half marathon and the rollerski marathon, the event attracts skaters of all ages and abilities.


Looking Ahead to Race Day

With the early bird numbers in, the focus now shifts to preparing for race day. The NorthShore Inline Marathon team is working hard to ensure that the 2025 event will be unforgettable for everyone involved. Along with the main marathon, participants can look forward to the Skate and Health Expo, featuring a host of exciting vendors and experiences, as well as new race features designed to make the weekend even more special.
