The Hamilton Beach Monthly Marathon is set for this Saturday, August 15th. This is the final fun, self-supported monthly marathon at Hamilton Beach Trail for this year.

Entry Fees: TISC Members skate free. Skaters who do not belong to either TBN or TISC pay a $5 guest fee.
Distance/Class: 12 km/27 km/42 km.
Meeting & start time: 8:45am, depart 9:00 am

Carpool: If you are able to give a ride, please email inline@tbn.ca and let us know. If you are looking for a ride, email prior to Wednesday before the skate to request. We cannot guarantee carpooling will always be available, it depends on availability of club members that are driving. Passengers are expected to share driving expenses.
