The Route

Posted by Edwin Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Our event hopes to emphasize the ability for all to do good in the community, through our own medium - longboarding. Once again, just like last year, we hope to once again push forward (literally!) in the fight against cancer!

How does it work?

We'll be skating anywhere from 20-50 miles a day from town to town, where we'll meet up with a Skate Cape May lemonade stand in that town to raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer! See below for our current route dates and stop locations!

The above is the conglomerate map/routing for Skate Cape May 2011. It's planned out on Google Maps, and avoids major highways for maximum safety. You can click on "View Larger Map" to see turn by turn directions! (Note, the conglomerate map is not the exact route we'll be taking, but instead just a rough estimation. The actual directions between each town will be more finely tuned but we'll be unable to publish each one)

Skate Cape May is a 200+ mile skateboarding journey from the top of New Jersey (High Point) to the bottom (Cape May) with the intent to raise funds for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research. Last year, we received an award as a Top 100 Fundraiser for 2010 for ALSF!
