This month we are partnering with Pendgo Timing to trial a timed walk. The BridgeWalk is 6020 yards or 5.5km. Pendgo Timing will provide the first 100 walkers with a microchipped bib which will automatically calculate your time (and adjust it to 5km equivalent)
It’s just a bit of fun for Cinco de Mayo but it will also serve to show us how a timed BridgeWalk event might work. The thought is that we might do an annual timed walk, which would command an entry fee, with proceeds going to a good cause. The advantage of working with Pendgo Timing is that we would be able to arrange the closure of one traffic lane on the bridge for our participants to use and that sounds like fun to me!
Watch this space for details.
