Distance skateboarding is a lifestyle sport where a person uses a skateboard primarily for traveling long distances. The skateboards, usually longer and lower than standard skateboards, have softer, larger wheels that make distance skateboarding more stable and adhesive without requiring additional movement from the rider.

Registration for the supercross will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Night-race registration is from 5 to 7 p.m.

Snohomish County Sports Commission is the sponsor.
