  WALKER NOTE...CONTINUED in 26'

  The Seashore Striders are going to add a separate 5K WALK DIVISION in all eight series events for this summer.  If participants show responsibility, fairness and honesty and WALK correctly by USATF Standards then it will continue.   If it turns into a "DQ fest" then it will not continue.  

  As the Seashore Strider Race Director, I am not interested in creating more work for myself and we do not have the staff  to patrol 3.1 miles of the course, but what I am interested in doing is providing an opportunity for those who simply do not run and would rather walk and still be involved in the event.  That is my goal & mission with this decision.   We ask that as a walker you are fair, honest to the division.

  "Race walking differs from running in that it requires the competitor to maintain contact with the ground at all times and requires the leading leg to be straightened as the foot makes contact with the ground. It must remain straightened until the leg passes under the body. Judges evaluate the technique of race walkers and report fouls which may lead to disqualification. All judging is done by the eye of the judge and no outside technology is used in making judging decisions."...USATF

  To QUALIFY in the Walk Series Division you must complete five of the 8 5k Events listed here:

  Race For the Ribbon 5k on 5/31/26
  Bill Degnan 5k on 6/7/26
  Fathers Day 5k on 6/21/26
  Jungle Jim's 5k on 6/27/26
  Beebe Hero's 5k on 6/28/26
  Firecracker 5k on 7/4/26
  Dam Mill 5k on 7/26/26
  Race for the Paws 5k on 8/1/26

  To QUALIFY in the Walk Series Division you must complete one of the 2 5m Events listed here:

  Masser 5 Miler on 5/24/26
  Seashore 5 Miler on 7/12/26

  This NEW Walk Division will allow a participant to qualify for the Championship Series by completing 5 of the 8 5k Walks and 1 of the two 5 mile runs.   The two 5 mile runs will not have a separate WALK division and you can run or walk or do a combination.  Because of the longer 5 mile distance, you are encouraged to run or run/walk, rather than walk the whole five mile distance.  The key is that you must finish the 5 miler.

  Awards for the WALK will be the top 5 male & the top 5 female in those five WALK events.

  For the Championship Series Awards you are either in the WALK division or you are in the Age Group Run Division.   You can not be in both and you can not go back & forth.   Please pay attention to the Division you register for.

  WALK QUESTIONS can be directed to [email protected]
