🌶️ Carolina Road Reaper Race 🌶️
Three Empire Skaters attended this year and took on the hilly yet beautiful course. With over 1400 feet of elevation, this course was no joke, but hills aren't a problem for NYC skaters 💪 It was challenging, rewarding, and a great experience from start to finish! 🔥

Team placements in the Moreathon were:
🥇Coach Adiel - First Place Men's and overall
🥇Allegra - First place Women’s and 7th overall
🏅 Andrey - 15th overall

One of the best parts of the weekend was spending time with the incredible community surrounding the event. We really can’t recommend this race enough. It's safe to say, we'll be back next year and hope to see even more people join us! 🛼🔥

Join us in our WhatsApp community to stay up to date on the latest announcements and connect with fellow team members in real time!

We will continue to announce our practices and evens on social media but the WhatsApp community will allow us to organize team communication even better. Things like organizing meetings, special events, community polls and uniform orders will now be easier while also providing a place for active members to get advice and see who else is available to train outside of our regular practices.

NOTE: While welcome all to join us, this group will prioritize ACTIVE team members that have attended practices at some point in the past to try to minimize spam bots and strangers. So come skate with us!

Bring your crappiest bearings! Given the number of races that have been rained on the last few years, it's important to be prepared to skate in the rain. We'll skate together and talk about rain technique and how to skate fast when there's little grip. The focus will be on skating safely so we won't be going all-out fast.

We'll ROLL OUT AT 10am SHARP to minimize people waiting around in the rain.

This weekend Empire Speed raced another exciting Marathon and 100k! Despite the rain there was a strong turnout with loads of enthusiasm from the skaters, spectators, and one rogue dog who couldn't help but join in the fun (swipe 🐕👉).

Many personal bests were set and more memories were made. We're so proud of the work our skaters put in this year. Their continued dedication to train as well as mentor our newer skaters has grown the team and pushed all of us to train harder and skate faster and longer. We're already stoked for next year!

Thanks 📷 for capturing these beautiful moments!
