| 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.
