Rules

Video timing equipment is not used. Only hand held gps units are used. This enables sessions be made at very short notice. The main unit used is the Navi GT31 or GW-60. But other older units like the Garmin Foretrek, Forerunner and Geko are still acceptable but may not as accurate.

The rules are based on the rules dictated by gps-speedsurfing. And it will be based on your fastest 250 m run. The GPS units must record at a minimum of two second time intervals. The GPS tracks are up-loaded to a computer and speeds are calculated on gps software such as the free to use gps action replay or highly recommended GPS Results (free for 30 days then 29 Euros Downloadable from the website www.gps-speed.com).

Each competitor will then post his or her time on gps-speedsurfing and clicking British Speed Challenge as the event.
