Miami Ultraskate 2026 – Join us!

Miami Ultraskate is the crown jewel of distance skating events in North America. Skateboard, longboard, inline, or quad (traditional roller skates) – every category is welcome. It’s a beginner-friendly event with a great sense of community, but it’s absolutely a challenge for seasoned athletes that want to push themselves to their limits and beyond.

Here’s some SUPER-amateur video from the first lap of Miami Ultraskate 2024:

It’s a 24-hour event, held on a NASCAR speedway in Homestead, Florida, about 30-45 minutes’ drive south of Miami. You wear a timing chip on your ankle, and every time you go around the track, that distance is added to your overall tally. When the clock stops, your completed laps are totaled.

We set up along the pit road, with canopies, chairs, air mattresses, snacks and hydration. The event provides water and electrolyte, but we prepare our own, just in case. Some participants just have their own particular solutions for nutrition and hydration, but some is provided. 3 meals (lunch, dinner, breakfast) are included with your entry, along with some fun swag. Yes, you can stop whenever you want to stretch, use the restroom, or even take a nap. You have 24 hours to add up those laps, and it’s all self-supported. Everyone is encouraging and welcoming. If you’ve never been, you’ll love it. If you’ve been before, you know what I’m talking about. If you can’t make it this year, you’ll wish you had. 😀

We’re facilitating an Airbnb rental nearby. We may have some beds available, so give me a call or send a message for updated details. We are also facilitating a 12-passenger van rental, and there is room for a few more skaters + gear.
