Race Info says, NO WALKERS...( updated answer received)

[John VN]

NO WALKERS What does that mean? I walk a 2:06:16 half so does that mean I couldn't enter? Guess a phone call or email to RD is in order.

Found ad in Florida RacePlace

10K Midnight Run, Dunedin, Fl. ad has notation "....This run is challenging and NOT for walkers."

Race starts at 12:15AM. 2.5 miles from start the race enters gated PARK. Gate will be locked at 1:00AM so no entrance. Concern is for those unable to maintain pace to enter Park. I'm good to go if neurosurgeon releases me this Thursday.

thanks for replies

I think if you walk a 2:06 half you should be allowed in. My guess is that the course is only open for a certain amount of time, and they want to make sure that everyone can finish before the course opens again.

I read that too and I thought it meant that thing that many elderly people use for mobility, but I could be wrong.

What race? If you are picking this out of a list of restricted activities it also says no strollers. I feel like I am just strolling at the end of Goofy Guess I need to pick up the effort

For the safety of yourself and the other participants, baby joggers, strollers, baby carriers, baby backpacks, inline skates, motorized scooters, bicycles, skateboards, canes, crutches, walkers, walking sticks and animals of any kind are prohibited from the course.

Hopefully your post was a little tongue in cheek.

Serious me, I never thought of this approach to the post. I'm with you. Hopefully it is a fun post. Otherwise, I have a serious comment.

what race indeed...

I barely made the 3 hour 30 minute time limit - as long as you stay in front of the sweepers in Disney (they do have to open the roads, and open the parks!) you're good to go! (16 min mile pace)
