Skate marshals
Skate marshals are voluntary inline skaters who help with the organization of an event.
At the moment, only the annual events have this requirement
All skaters must remain in between the front and back marshal. The marshals may be provided with a communication device to be able to communicate among themselves and keep the group together.
The back marshal will inform the front marshal about the speed to keep the group together. If you would like to be considered for a marshal, let us know.
Positions
- One will be in the front
- Another in the back
- Another one recording the event. This skater is not to be followed by the group.
- The marshals are surveyed volunteers which are regular skaters with high skating proficiency
- A marshal will be visually identified by name/handle and a visual tag
- At least one marshal will be tagged with a live gps tracking url, so that everyone will be able to locate the marshal in real time
- In case or large number of skaters on the streets, other marshals may be assigned to lateral and or traffic positions
Speed
The front marshal is will be the one ensuring that at this time, skate marshals are asked to keep the group at no less than 10 km/h or more than 15k/h but an average speed between 12 and 15 km/h which is considered reasonable for our intermediate skaters demonstrated skill and environment.
