Inline skating competition
After in 1997 the Berlin Marathon offered a race for speed skaters, there was in Hamburg for the first time in 1998 the " rapid Roller" in the program. In the first edition there were only 351 participants. The following year already started due to the German championship in the marathon 1,040 skaters. From the huge international occupied square Tristan Loy and Christoph Zschätzsch were able to sell at the end won Loy and Zschätzsch was German champion in the marathon. For women, Anne Titze won superior.
The race had established itself in the scene and from then on were always top runners from the USA, France and Denmark and Belgium at the start. 2001 drove the winner with the new folding skates, but this technical novelty could not prevail. Also, the superficial handling of the skaters showed: Normally, the women started from a different starting block than men, some top runners but was wrongly assigned by the organizer of the starting block of the men. Despite the simultaneous launch these runners benefited from the lee of the men. Then when these women came to the finish before the actual top group of ladies, they were disqualified by the organizer.
Reached its climax in the skater Marathon 2002. Besides the record number of 2,504 skaters counted the race in the Grand Prix standings for the World Cup of roller skaters, the world's highest-ranking race series. Furthermore, the European Masters Championships, the European Veterans Championships were held this year. The course record was made due to the high level and the large power density. So drove in the main draw of the men within 10 seconds 53 runner mat over time.
In 2005, the race was dropped from the schedule of the World Inline Cup (WIC ) and the first World Masters, so World Championships for seniors performed. This was also the last skater marathon as part of the Hamburg Marathon. The reason was race director Götz tungsten to the low number of participants: " After the number of skaters has been reduced to around 500, we have now removed from the program. It has no longer counted. "The light of participants decline is due to the flattening of the inline skating boom, the high entry fee, as well as other events with more interest for speed skaters.
