2025 LDWA 100 – Marshals’ Event – Kit Check (Norfolk and Suffolk)

Catching up with Simon and Claire just before one of the checkpoints and it was becoming evident the fast pace that they were going at. They were intending to keep this up, as best as they could, for the entire event rather than varying their pace.

By his own admission, Richard struggled to keep up with Simon and Claire on the 100 metre walk into the checkpoint.

There’s a kit check at a random point during the event and entrants have to draw a random ball out and prove that they have that item in their bag. Simon drew out a first aid kit and he was able to produce this, although I thought that we should analyse the contents to double check, he was deemed to have passed. The aim of this process is to ensure that everyone carries the key items that will keep them safe on a 100 mile walk.
