Racewalk
Race Walk Competition (Olympic Style)
The Portland Marathon offers a judged race walk division for both the marathon and 5 mile distances. The judges abide by the USAT&F Rules of racewalking. Everyone is allowed to finish the event. In the event of disqualification the walker will find results posted in the run results and is not eligible for racewalk awards. Awards for racewalking are 3 deep for open men and women and 3 deep for masters (40+) men and women.
Please do not register as a Marathon racewalker if your anticipated finish time is greater than 5 hours and 45 minutes, as most disqualifications occur with slower walkers. Judging will cease at 1pm.
