COMPETITION RULES FOR USE IN THE UK 1 st April 2018 – 31st March 2020

RULE 240 S 5 UKA SUPPLEMENT HEADPHONES

The wearing of headphones, or similar devices, (other than those medically prescribed), is not permitted in races on any single carriageway road that is not wholly closed to traffic. This restriction does not apply to races held on dual carriageways provided that there are clear, structured separations between the separate carriageways. Competition Providers of races held entirely on roads closed to traffic may apply this condition where appropriate to local circumstances.

As the Tower Insurance Isle of Man Open 100 Mile Race Walk 2019 incorporating the RWA National Long Distance Race Walking Championship is being held on a circuit wholly closed to vehicular traffic we can advise that headphones may be worn.
