Just curious who thinks this is a little backwards. I would do the hoverboard races post-Shade's Eve. Halloween events have always been my favorite in MMOs and I enjoy doing them. I just feel like the Hoverboard event will take people away from Shade's Eve event overall. I want to participate in both but I have about a 2 hour rough estimate of time per day to partake in events.
 
I got the game shortly before becoming F2P and have leveled one of each toon to about 15. The halloween dungeon took a bit of time to solo as a lvl 16 but I enjoyed it overall. But now I feel like I won't have time for the hoverboard event, and even if I make time it means I give up on level progression during said events. And since they both offer rewards you will have to grind repetitively to unlock, I wonder how many things I will have to give up on to get it.
 
The Shade's Eve is for another week and a half where the Hoverboard is only for 5 days so it would make sense to do the hoverboard but I really want to unlock some of the Shade's Eve event rewards too. x.x I feel like I can't dedicate enough time to both. Does anyone else feel the same or is this more something only players with limited game time will have to endure?

			Yes you can, the NPC will teleport you to the race track and once completed telepport you back to the city.

			And scratch that... apparently its only on higher level maps so I can't even participate. *Sad Face*

			and the races will take all of 3-5 minutes each.

The timing is pretty simple, really.
 
Today is "Back to the Future" day. It will never be Back to the Future Day, ever again. So there is a very limited window on making this event have a real-world tie-in, so they made the most of it.
 
I do sympathize with limited play time and maybe not getting to dedicate yourself fully to one or the other. As a limited playtime person, I know those feels.
 
But as T-U-A points out, the races might take 5 minutes each and there are only three of them, so you're looking at less than a half-hour including travel time if you take the long way between zones.
 
The Shades' Eve dailies (including a solo run of the instance) might run you slightly longer than that, but you should still be able to do both events in a little more than an hour or so. Now, if you're an hour-a-day player (and I often am, so no judgement here!) then you probably aren't going to be leveling or questing after all that, but it should still be do-able if you're interested in just hammering out the events.
 
Best of luck!

Ah yeah, I keep forgetting not everyone doing the instance is 50 with gear. :lol:  I just have not bothered running my lowbies through it. None of them are going to use any creepy decor, the costume is shared and I already own two account-bound hoverboards.
 
Still, I'm with you. Gimme my Delorean!

			"High level maps"

Deradune and Celestion are both 6-14 maps - not too high level!
 
Whitevale is 22+, so it's a little steeper, but not too bad.
 
I just ran the deradune track- took me roughly a minute (if even that) to go through the whole track.  If you just want to do the daily - and not spam run them, I think you should be a-ok!
 
I'm on my way to the other tracks now though - and attempting to record them all ;)	
----
			when you get the actual race "mission" from Doc Zemmet, there should be an associated "T" power that will teleport you right to the start line, so you won't even have to make the runs. ( at least that's how it was In testing. At work right now, so can't confirm in game at this time )	
----
			
Funny... we go from "There aren't enough events" to "The number of events in this game is TOO DAMNED HIGH!"
 
But in all seriousness, I haven't really had the time to check these events out. However, it's really refreshing to see they put so much work into this stuff.
