Centurions Handbook

Events

2008 Events

Below are listed competitive  walking races  (where race walking rules apply) plus training walks and social/non-walking events.

There are a lot of other walks of various distances which can be used as
training walks for a 100 miles / 24 hour race. These events are usually non - competitive and are organised by the Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA), the International Marching League (IML) and the IVV (amongst others).

Many present day Centurions take part in these walks - even if they are not intending to compete in the next "100". They are all enjoyable events in their own right.
