Dinnie Walk- 

Athletes must carry the plates as far as possible along the 65ft course. Athletes are allowed a single drop along with a 10 second break, after which they must continue to carry the plates. Once the athlete drops the plates a second time, their attempt is over and the distance is measured. If an athlete manages to reach the end of the 65ft course, they must turn around and continue the walk back down the course. THIS IS DOWN AND BACK.

If the athlete reaches the end of the 65ft course before their first drop, they are allowed to drop the plates and pick them up in the opposite direction instead of turning with the plates in hand. This is treated as their single allowed drop.

Time allowed is 90 seconds.

Approved Equipment:

• Wrist wraps, belts, chalk, boots, grip shirts, knee/elbow sleeves, shin sleeves(guards).

NO TACKY, KNEE WRAPS+ SLEEVES, of any kind.
