Perseverance is the strength of the walker and generally of those engaging in endurance sports.

Therefore this year is organized in Scarnafigi (CN) an event idea that race walking and fitwalking (non-competitive) can live together in joint events.

The next March 12 will come back “Sulle strade dei Campioni“ fitwalking and race walk 30 Km.

Of course in order to facilitate everyone, and also by virtue of the inclusion in the Piedmont Race Walk Cup of this event, everybody will have the opportunity to conclude different distances or intermediate.

Fitwalking on the roads of Champions

The fitwalking (non-competitive) provides the opportunity to test themselves on these distances: 15Km and 30Km. Also, new for this year, you can opt for a new 30Km “in pais”, essentially a relay race in pairs that allow you to complete 30km (15km+15km) fitwalkers who wish to join in twos. Of course when registering you will have to declare the membership / subscription to this section and indicating the names of the pair.

Always for the fitwalking there is a popular walk of 10Km.

Targa Pino Dordoni

Race Walk will instead have its competitive section entitled to the champion Giuseppe “Pino” Dordoni on the distance of 30Km. As mentioned is possible also to participate on intermediate distances, 15 or 7.5 for Race Wall Piedmont Cup (not valid for the Pino Dordoni Cup).

Walk circuit will be of 7.5km to be repeated four times to complete30km. Judgment will be according to the pit lane rule. Race will be male and female.

The technical regulations will be published shortly.

Hope’s organizers is the idea that race walk (unfortunately whose numbers are limited) can be found in union with the popular - would almost say his return to the old - the opportunity for a strong revival. Not surprisingly, the day also includes youth walk events.

It’s nice to recall that until the 50s race walk was strong and real union between the organized / competitive sports and popular (see the famous 100 Km which collected to even start “walkers" certainly not professionals but sometimes extemporaneous and driven by the desire to prove himself). Indeed, perhaps the history of this our discipline is much in this concept.

The start of the trial of 30 km and intermediate is scheduled at 8:30 am from the center of Scarnafigi.

Organizers would like this to be an opportunity for a moment of gathering and promoting the world of walking in order to recover that spirit of unity that lies in the idea of ​​sharing the "effort” of kilometers on foot.

We believe it can be an opportunity to workout for athletes and, also, to find an opportunity to address an important away without too many competitive pressures. It is probably more opportunity for senior / master to compete and to do it together for elderly people under 35.

For fitwalkers will, as it always was, a party and an incentive to get involved for a personal goal represented by the ability to travel 30 km on foot and walk briskly.
