Competition Divisions:

Running Long Jump is an individual age competition which is divided into both men and women divisions.

Tournament:

Each contestant will be allowed three jumps. Competition is based on distance.

Format:

1. Jumpers may begin their running long jump from any distance from the scratch line.
2. The order of jumping will be drawn prior to the event.
3. Each participant will take one jump at a time in the order of jumping.
4. The order of jumping will be followed until each competitor has taken three jumps.

Scoring:

2. If the jumper’s shoe extends over the scratch line, the jump shall not be measured, but shall count as a jump.
