PROPOSED 100 MILES/24 HOUR RACE

Dave Jones of Redcar is looking into the possibility of holding either a 100 mile race on a road loop or a 24 hour event on the track in Redcar in 2014.
Dave says, " If we hold a 24 hour event it will be at Guisborough on the track".

Dave wants to invite leading distance walkers for an attempt at the world record. Redcar and Cleveland Council are keen to support the event but before Redcar can go ahead, Dave will need to secure significant funding to enable the organisers to offer a first prize of say £1000 for a new world record. If anyone is interested in this concept please contact Redcar (John Paddick - Hon Sec )

Donc en 2014 peut-être épreuve centurion à Guisborough (Redcar) soit 24h piste, soit 100 Miles route

L'idée serait d'inciter à tenter un record du monde. Prime de 1000£ ( 1.182€  ) offerte pour un éventuel record du monde

Tout ça est pour l'instant à l'étude.

Eventuellement donc ce serait là: Guisborough, près de Redcar.

L'incertitude

As I write, the position remains uncertain on a 100 miles event in the UK for 2014, despite
best efforts.

à suivre, mais restons optimistes!

ce sera sur piste les 2 et 3 Aout 2014

Note B rules apply to Southend 100

Citation :

The Straight Knee Rule
In races of 100miles or 24 hours, the rules differ slightly in that these races are "B" races meaning that no walker will get disqualified for bent knees.
However some judges find that bent knees plus a high turn-over rate makes continuous contact difficult to judge. Unlike formal race walking, it will be up to the walker to demonstrate continuous contact!
Some UK judges will insist that knees must always be uncovered - despite the prevailing weather conditions.
