This is a Centurions Qualifying event.( A Centurion is one who has walked 100 miles within 24 hours). To acheive this the pace is just over 4 mph and you don't have to adopt the 'funny' race walking style.
What do you need? Good health, mental strength and determination. Those who take part will be of all ages. If you feel up to the challenge the Event Director is:
Peter Selby. 4 The Parade, Maresfield. East Sussex. TN22 5BS.
or contact Ron Wallwork on 01638 662828. Remember - if you average 4 mph you will miss the time limit by an hour! It is tough and not for wimps.

I believe there are awards for covering distances from 26 miles upwards but to qualify as a member of the Centurions you need to cover 100 miles within 24 hours.
Every time Sandra Brown's been in the same 24 hour race as me she's beaten me. And she walks the whole way!
Wonderful.
I qualified 41 years ago in 22-9-27 and never dreamt I'd see a women achieve a time three and a half hours faster.
Yes she is wonderful.
Ill only be doing 60 miles then, and we have up to 30 hours to do so
theres only 48 days to go!
Not many would even contemplate it.
You will do it.
i never give up
You'll really like Sandra, she does her 100 miles then goes off for breakfast. Then, just about when you think you've finally got a chance to beat her you hear this cheery voice behind you!! She gets bored and gets back on the track and does another 10 miles. And I really can't keep up with her.
Done 4 miles run,and now about to do the same walking
need to visit one of my little flock in hospital
