The 27th Annual Annual Athens to Atlanta Road Skate took place on Saturday, October 5, 2008 on the hilly roads between Athens and Atlanta, Georgia. Here are results, race reports, and photos of one of the longest and oldest skating events in the world. In the early years this hilly 87 mile road skate was done on quad roller skates. Unbelievable! A group of roller derby girls are talking about bring quad skates back to A2A in 2009.
