Power Walking the National Senior Games

Posted on by
Reply

Race Walking has been an event at the State and National Senior Games (NSGA.)  Starting in 2011 Power Walking will be added to the 2011 Summer Games to measure interest for future medal sport consideration by the NSGA. Power Walking will be a judged competition. Participants may complete in the 1500 meter track event as well as the 5000 meter road event. The rules are:

  1. Athletes must wear appropriate shoes and clothing.
  2. Power Walking is a progression of steps, taken so that the walker makes contact with the ground
    so that no visible (to the human eye) loss of foot-to-ground contact occurs. One foot must be in
    contact with the ground at all times.
  3. The walker’s knees may be bent.
  4. Disqualification will result when athletes are judged to be running (both feet off the ground at the
    same time) in three separate instances by three separate officials during the course of the
    race/competition.

The 2011 Summer National Senior Games will be held June 16-30th, 2011 in Houston, TX. No date yet for the  Massachusetts Senior Games. However, they are usually held in mid June in Springfield MA.

2010 Grand Prix report

Bob Keating and Maryanne Daniel are the winners in the 2010 New England Racewalking Grand Prix. As best as I can determine, this is the 14th consecutive year that Bob has finished first in the men’s category. Points were calculated by measuring a walker’s race time against international age-graded tables. A walker’s four best scores for the season constituted his or her final total. More than 40 walkers from the region took part in at least one of our Grand Prix races this year. We hope for even greater participation with our expanded schedule of events for next year (listed below).

MEN

Four races

Bob Keating          350.89
Tom Knatt            304.37
Stephen Peckikonis   300.17
Brian Savilonis      296.38
Bill Harriman        288.05
Larry Epstein        285.38
Charlie Mansbach     281.08
Barry Fowler         265.92

14 others with one, two, or three races

WOMEN

4 races
Marianne Daniel     318.68

19 others with one, two, or three races.

Our Grand Prix schedule for 2011 includes:

  • Dartmouth Relays 1-mile. NH, January.
  • Greater Boston Track Club 3K, January.
  • Eastern Masters Indoor 3K, Providence, Jan. 30.
  • New England Indoor 3K, Cambridge, February.
  • Clamdigger 5K, RI, April.
  • Seacost 5K, NH, May.
  • National 10K, Albany, May or June.
  • NE Outdoor 3K, June.
  • Bay State Games 3K, July.
  • Eastern Masters Outdoor 5K, July.
  • National One-Hour, Waltham, October.
  • Connecticut 10K, November.

We also hope to include an event in Maine if one is available.

Competitors may also include a result from one other national or international race (such as one of the World Masters events in Sacramento next summer).
