On March 30, 2003 inline skating marathons will change forever with the inaugural skating of the WALT DISNEY WORLD® Inline Marathon. The adventure begins at DISNEY’S WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS® Complex, where the loop course whisks skaters to the bright lights of show business at the DISNEY-MGM STUDIOS. After parading down HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, skaters stroll along a charming coastal village at DISNEY’S BOARDWALK RESORT. Then it's on to EPCOT® and the eleven great nations of the WORLD SHOWCASE before circling back to DISNEY’S WIDE WORLD OF SPORTS® Complex for a rewarding finish.

The WALT DISNEY WORLD® Inline Marathon- it's more than a skate, it's a World tour!
