5K
Competitive Racewalk Race Day Registration 7:00 AM - 8:15 AM Our competitive racewalk, for race walkers age 50 and over, is
a staple of the Fifty-Plus Fitness Weekend. We call it "competitive,"
because it's judged by USATF race walking rules, that is, no visible
loss of contact with the ground and straightened advancing leg.
The racewalk is a flat and fast 5K course around the Stanford University
campus, and finishes inside Stanford Stadium. The racewalk is timed.
Awards are distributed in five-year age groups from age 50-54 through
90-plus. Registration includes T-shirt (as available), post-race
refreshments, and Health Fair. View list
of racewalk winners. Registration Form, PDF Format or use our On-Line Registration |

Mile Fitness Walk (Non-Competitive) Event Day Registration 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM Walking is the most popular form of exercise among older adults.

hills. The ride is moderately paced, but you'll arrive back at Stanford
Stadium in plenty of time to enjoy the refreshments, Health Fair,

Inline Skate Event Day Registration: 7:00 AM - 7:45 AM Helmets are required. People of all ages are discovering
the benefits of inline skating. It's easier on the joints than other
activities, yet provides an excellent aerobic workout when done
correctly. Enjoy one of the fastest growing sports in America with
a three mile skate around the Stanford University campus. Or, if
you prefer, stay close by for instruction on inline skating style
and how to stop correctly (very important!) and skate on the 1/2
mile road inside the stadium fence. Adults of all ages welcome.
Skate rentals are available at Black Diamond Sports at 162 University
Avenue in Palo Alto, 650-289-0900. Registration includes T-shirt
(as available) and post-event refreshments and festivities. Led
by Phil Lenihan,
68, a IISA Certified, Level 3, In-line Skating Instructor. Registration Form, PDF Format or use our On-Line Registration |
