Calderdale Way Relay

[Stan]

Hot off the press, new for 2007:
Leg 2:
You must walk through the riding stables. A marshal will be here taking numbers and any team seen running through here will be given a 5 minute time penalty.

I suppose the race walking rules might come in useful then?


"Race walking is a progression of steps so taken that the walker makes contact with the ground so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of contact occurs. The advancing leg must be straightened (ie not bent at the knee) from the moment of first contact with the ground until in the vertical position"
Translated, this means that contact must be maintained at all times (the difference between walking and running).

There was a similar situation at the World Masters event in Switzerland in 2006. A footbridge was subject to a similar walking only rule - a similar length too to the stables on leg 2.

They did make you walk over the bridge, at a normal walking pace so 'race walking' wouldn't have been allowed. I suggest if the rule says you walk then you should walk.

Thanks Chris, if I ever go to the World Masters in Switzerland I'll bear that in mind.

Don't be such an ignorant oaf, Stan. I made an observation which related to the requirement to walk through the stables on leg two of the relay.
