The walker’s records have just been started from 2006. The statistician went into history as far as possible for results of the previous and present walkers. If any walker knows about someone who did better times or you yourself did better times than in the records above, please let us know.
Should you be able to provide us with any of the missing record times it would be appreciated if you can send it to the statistician. You are also invited to request your available statistics on our database from the statistician by sending him an e-mail or call him on the number listed above.
If you query a result thinking you have done better in your category, please let us know. Don’t let us know after the prize giving, we want it to be correct at the prize giving.
Please send all results and queries to .

getting colder, don’t act like a bear
and try to hibernate, get up and
go and run, because your
shoes want to.
