OUR MOST CURRENT INFORMATION!!!

Parents and Skaters...

Thank you for your patience! Things are moving along but it feels like they are doing so in slow motion!

The host hotel is filling quickly and you may need to call the hotel to book your room if you are coming in on Wednesday evening. There were a small amount of rooms available at the $98 rate on Wednesday night and the next tier was at $125 a night. Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights all remain at $98 a night and are available until February 14th when the rooms will go back to $199 a night. So NOW is the time to book a room if you haven't done so already! The link is located on the left side of this page. ( When you call the Marriott ask for Alison or Kristin in Group Sales-tell them you are with Sunrise Rollerland Speed Meet).


More information has been added to our main website at: www.inlnemarchmadness.com Just scroll down the page for the latest information on prices, divisions and due dates. More will be added this week on a daily basis as it is available to us.

Here is how you can enter the indoor competition. Your coach or club representative will need to enter you if there are two or more skaters from one club. Please no single registrations unless you are the only skater representing your club. The entry forms are located on the left side of our main website up near the top on the page. Once you open that-please read and then proceed to the bottom of that page where the entry forms will be listed.

Those skaters not competing at the indoor portion of the competition may enter individually for the Outdoor skate. Once again, please see the individual link for the "Outdoor Only" portion and follow the directions on how to enter. Our course HAS changed and we should have the final layout by Friday, January 25th with a map included. The City of Rancho Cordova Roadway Department has approved the race we are waiting for the final approval from the Fire Department and the Police Department. We meet with them this week!

SCHEDULE: I know this is very important to those of you making reservations. Thursday morning will start with the NOVICE division - both distances. Next we will start 4-person relays followed by STANDARD division races.

Because we must wait for entries to come in (we have already received some entries) we cannot give you an exact time as to when each block of skating will begin. Sunday's outdoor schedule will start as early as we can and we HOPE to be finished by 2pm at the very latest. You are approximately 20-25 minutes away from the airport if you are leaving directly from the outdoor site. I PROMISE.... you will know as soon as we know!!!!!

Keep your eye on the deadlines!!! For the HOTEL it is FEBRUARY 14th or when rooms run out. For the INDOOR ENTRY it is: SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 16th.

Jonathan:

Hello! Thanks for the questions and sorry that our information is confusing. We are trying to rewrite it as I speak!

What we were trying to say...

If you entered the indoor meet and paid the indoor fees... and sent your outdoor fee in at the same time (hence the due date of February 16th), the skater would receive a "break" on the marathon race and only pay $50.00. If a skater decides to only skate the marathon and he/she pays by February 23rd.... the cost is $65.00 and it includes a goodie bag with really cool stuff inside and a finisher's medal. If that same skater is not sure and wants to wait until the last moment to sign-up and it's February 24th through March 8th NOON, then they will pay $85.00. They may not receive the t-shirt at the meet, but one will be ordered and shipped, same with the participation/finisher medal. I hope this has answered your question. If not, please do not hesitate to contact me again. Thanks so much, Linda Wood
