Shorts or pants fitting tightly at the knees are required.
- Certified race walking judge(s) will be used for both events.
- The judge(s) shall have the sole authority to judge the race walking events
and their ruling shall be final and without appeal. Any competitor who

informed.

to pick up their numbers and hear a review of rules by the primary judge.

PLEASE NOTE: The Puget Sound Senior Games Association encourages everyone

formal race walking instruction only. Use of proper form and technique is
required and rules will be strictly enforced.
