Race Walking

St Edmunds 100

5 Aug 2017

It is with great pleasure that "Positive Steps" are hosting the prestigious 94th Centurion race in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk and National 24 hour Race Walking Association (RWA) Championship. It will also incorporate races at the intermediate distance of 50 miles, and the British Masters Athletics Federation 20 mile Championship.

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.  All races will be held under Category ‘B’ rules and walkers must maintain contact with the ground in order to satisfy the judges.

Walkers who successfully complete 100 miles in 24 hours will be eligible to become Centurions and will be allocated their own unique Centurion number to recognise their achievement.

Distance: 100 Miles and 50 Miles, 20 Miles

Suitable for: Race walkers and anyone - who wants to have a go!

Medals: All finishers will be awarded a bespoke medal

Places available: 100 miles - 70, 50 miles - 40, 20 miles - 40

Challenge

St Nicholas Hospice Hoop

5 Aug 2017

Positive Steps would like to invite you to a special event this Summer to support St Nicholas Hospice Care, 

The Hospice Hoop will be open for 24 hours and involves a 2 mile loop around the Moreton Hall estate. Friendly supportive marshalls will be en route with drinks and snacks, so if you can commit to raising a minimum of £50 then all you have left to decide is how many Hoops to challenge yourself with. Hoops must be walked (not run).

The challenge will take place alongside the Centurion event (competitive walkers attempting distances up to 100 miles!). 

If you've entered Girls Night Out in Sep, why not take part to help step up your training?

As well as a warm welcome and congratulations when you finish, there will be a special momento to take home.

Distance: As many 2 mile Hoops as you are prepared to take on!

Suitable for: Anyone - who wants to have a go!

Medals: All finishers will be awarded a special momento of their challenge

Testimonials

"Thank for for an awesome day out today at the Norfolk 100. Fabulous route- even the miserably hard bits had good things about them! Truly wonderful volunteers at every aid station as well as at registration & the finish. And I ran with some amazing and inspirational people today. Oh yes, and I saw so many acts of kindness and camaraderie between runners.
It was a privilege to be a part of this race and my life has been made so much richer for it. Thank you so much."

"Hi Kevin,
Just wanted to thank you for how well today's race was organised. It was a great, friendly atmosphere and, as a first-timer, I thoroughly enjoyed the event. A really nice course and excellent work from all the marshals.

Thanks again,
Will

Thorpe Forest Trail 10km 8th Jan 2017

"Just wanted to thank you once again for letting me take part in yesterday’s marathon at the last minute. Well done on organising a great run - I thoroughly enjoyed it. The marshals were great and the route easy to follow which is a huge bonus for me as I have ABSOLUTELY no sense of direction whatsoever.
"
