NEW YORK, July 26, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon is hosting the first stop of its 2011 World Tour in New York on July 30, 2011. The innovative extreme sports company will host their 26.2 mile-long race on Governor's Island where some of the world's top longboarders will be competing for $30,000 in prize money. 

The event has already received a tremendous response from the action sports community, helping the Adrenalina Skateboard Marathon reach a record number of participants.
