Notes
-
For event three, special attention must be given to the nature of the jump, and the landing facilities required. Unless expert tuition and supervision is available, you must not attempt the Fosbury Flop.
-
For event five, the measurements refer to the height of the target when held at full arms stretch by the participants.
-
For event six, the limits of the run are marked on the ground. Your hand or foot must touch on or past the mark at the end of the run.
-
If you need help designing alternatives to these requirements for those with special needs please contact the Special Needs Office at Gilwell Park.
