Article- 24 Hours Roller Montreal- Rod Willmot (Adapted)2008-09-24 16:31 peterdoucet The following text is adapted from an article by Rod Willmot On September 6-7, Montreal’s Formula-1 racetrack was the venue for 24 Hours Roller Montreal, a relay race for teams of inline skaters that runs for 24 hours straight. This was the fifth edition, and for the 4th year running Rod Willmot was there as a timekeeper, assisted by Gaétan Rochette who is head timer for Marathon Skating International. Modeled after a similar race in Le Mans that maxes out at 5,000 skaters (in turn modeled after the legendary auto race), the Montreal event is a ton of fun on a more human scale. At 101 teams totaling 750 participants, this year’s race was perfect. This race has become one of the premier inline skating events in North America, for several reasons. First, it is the only 24 hour inline race in this hemisphere. Then, the venue: it takes place on the world-famous Formula One race track just adjacent to downtown Montreal giving skaters water, skyline, and parkland views all day and all night. Finally, and maybe most importantly, It i is a very successful fund raiser (for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada) which received a check for $20,000 at the closing ceremony. Lastly, it has the perfect balance of fun (many recreational skaters) and competition–(the elite teams go “all out” especially in the frenetic closing hours when race strategies are revamped. The timers used AMB’s ChipX system with Orbits 4 and Mylaps Monitor which gave real time results via a 32 inch monitor mounted in a tent with tables and chairs for all skaters to see the race as it developed. This, plus two other monitors allowed skaters to check their laps at any time during the race. So how many laps can inline skaters turn out in 24 hours? The winning team, the “Rapid Lap Dogs II” from Ottawa, did 173 laps for 747.36 km. Solo skater Philippe Coussy did 133 laps for 574.56 km, a huge accomplishment which bettered his world record! And, Melissa Vezina was the leading solo female with 78 laps. Finally, did anyone get the license plate number of that guy skating backwards for 24 hours?? For complete results, go to
