Objective: The RUN portion of the program will measure a competitor's speed in a sprint from the start line, touching third base, and touching home plate. ALL participants will run a total of 120 feet.

IMPORTANT:

The most important thing to remember is that for competition consistency, all competitors complete one turn at third base, and must run the correct total distance (120 feet for ALL). The program standard for the distance between bases will be 60 feet.

Procedure:

• The competitor will start at second base or the indicated start line.
• He/she will begin from a standing start, and begin running when the administrator yells GO!
• The runner will be timed from the moment he/she leaves second base, touches an anchored third base, and touches home plate. No sliding is allowed.
