More than 1,200 athletes pros, amateurs, and kids took to the streets of Shanghai for the opening stop of the World Skate Marathon Tour 2026. The wide boulevards made for a spectacular course, and the crowd was there from the early hours to cheer every skater across the line.
The tour now shifts to Spain for its first Challenger Stage event: the P2P Pamplona-Puente Skate Marathon on June 7th.
This isn't a loop. It's a point-to-point course, 42 kilometers from Pamplona to Puente la Reina, cutting through historic towns and rolling terrain. The route passes through Ororbia, Ibero, Etxauri, Paternain, Zizur, Belascoain, Orendain, and Artazu before reaching the finish line in Puente la Reina-Gares.
The race is open to all: Pro, Master, and Amateur categories welcome everyone from elite athletes chasing ranking points to families looking to roll together.
Challenger Tier, Real Stakes
As a Challenger Stage event, Pamplona offers athletes the chance to climb the WSMT general classification. Ranking points are distributed to the top finishers, with 100 points for first place scaling down through the field. For rising stars and established names alike, every placement counts toward the season-long standings.
