Policy for Walkers

2012-02-14T21:34:00.001-05:00

There is no separate category or starting time for walkers, but we do allow you to join the race. The only twist is that the Guinness rules still state that the minimum "run" distance to complete is ONLY 100 meters (and to complete the entire course). So we may erect an indicator sign at 100m (Guinness Record Marker) ... and tell all (including those that expect to walk) that they MUST run to the indicator sign ... even if they need to take walk breaks, or walk the rest of the way. ... we might even accept a nice "gallop", or a "happy skip" ... but normal walk pace won't cut it for that 100m section at the start. Also, there will be a time when the roads will be re-opened and any participants still on the race course at that time may be asked to move to the sidewalk.

ONLY 17 days left...
