| WALKERS: |
Walkers – non-championship
style is acceptable, ie power walking.
All walkers must WALK the complete distance. |
| IMPORTANT NOTE: |
Power walking is a progression of steps
so taken as the walker makes contact with the ground
so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact
occurs. From past experience we have had only a small
number
of people who have not conformed to this rule. We will
be policing the event in 2005. Those people
who do not walk in manner stated above could be liable to disqualification. |
