« TISC, Magnificient 7, TISC 1, and Single-Speed, K2/ Empire, and Skatefarm; these were some of the teams with TISC skaters that participated in the 24 Hours Inline Montreal. The relay; a 24 hour event which takes place on the formula 1 track in Parc Jean Drapeau in Montreal, features great skating action. » Read more...

«It is a great track and an amazing race.
I LOVED the music being played. I was really wanting the dj to kick up the dance music in the wee hours of the night but I know people were sleeping. It was so helpful Kin waking up and getting ready for the next handoff. I also wish the djs would have played more upbeat music in the morning rather than the slower music. It was very nice of you to let people grill some of their own food on the grill. We are coming a long ways and cannot bring our own cooker. We would like to bring some food to have cooked as well next year. The hot dogs were nice and it was good to have some hot food there. We had only brought with us powerbars, granola, and sandwiches.
Cool down lap was nice. It went so fast being in a paceline. As tired as I was I wanted to go skate a few more laps just because it was so nice. We liked this event so much not only will we probably bring two teams next year but maybe even three. And we are even curious about sponsorship opportunities as well. Overall…Fantastic job!»

«For the third year I was a captain of the Toronto Inline Skating Club team Fitness division team #36 - TISC 2 - Force 10 From TISC. This yaer we were in Paddock #32 with sleeping accomodation on the roof of the paddocks. Again the organization of the event was great, the results were live and we skated our hearts out. Thank you for organizing the best event in Canada and we will be back next year.»

«Hi there! Well, I didn't complete as many laps as I could have hoped for prior to the event. Instead of what appeared to be a feasible objective of 70 laps was reduced to the tune of 60 then sold for 50. Mind you, I had very little to no beforehand experienceon rollerblades. I had probably not even the equivalent of 200 KM experience behind me prior coming to the event. I'll never forget my week-end however and likewise for La terreur orange for our 15 laps together in the middle of the night. Merci Katia, tu as sauvé ma fin de semaine!!! Look me up on the this website forum, I've placed my indepth impressions. I'll be back for sure next year as I'm already in the equipement upgrade process looking for a pair of 5 wheeler. C yu in 2007!!! Love.»

«On behalf of the Skater’s Quest Team I would like to convey our most sincere thanks and appreciation to you, the race organizers, and support staff that made the 24-Hour Montreal race a truly unique and fun experience. We met many Canadian and American skaters at the race, made new friends, and challenged ourselves to exceed our goal of skating 130 laps (we skated 132). We are already talking about sending two Skater’s Quest teams to next year’s race. Please let us know if there is anything that we can do to help for next year’s event. Merci beaucoup.»

«Congratulations on such a well run and fun event. It was so much better than last year. We were very pleased with the improvements on everything from washroom cleanliness to water hoses for cooling down to loads of trash/recycling cans that were emptied regularly to the food stuff at the Diabetes Foundation booth, the final lap (20 minute rule gone) and of course, a biggie ... teams being reassigned to correct categories if warranted. Even the parking behind the paddocks was better organized ....no-one got stuck by cars lining the railing. We also really appreciated how quickly the organizers responded to and corrected lighting concerns at the parking lot and the path from ... well you know. That was great!»
