From ancient game to
modern sport in one fanstastic leap
7th January 2006
We are organising a unique sporting event later this year – the first ever recorded run of the ancient sport of Rockfoot.
Very simply, Rockfoot was a race across rocks and boulders that developed from a Roman military training exercise.
As
well as recreating the event, the intention is to film the process for
documentary purposes and the promotion of the creative and practical applications
of Rockfoot.
At
present we are seeking:
1)
a
suitable location in Britain and
2)
expressions of interest regarding participation in the event as a runner or
in another role.
The
Rockfoot trials are provisionally scheduled for September 2006.
With
regard to prospective locations, we require a rock field of around 500 metres in length with variation
in the size, shape and density (proximity to one another) of rocks. Do you know
of any possible courses?
Please
refer to www.rockfoot.com/wayofrockfoot.pdf for full details on course varieties, race
rules & regulations, history and all other matters concerning Rockfoot.
If
anyone in your club/organisation is interested in The Rockfoot Trials, or can
suggest a good location, we would be delighted to hear from them, either by
e-mail info@rockfoot.com or through the tel number
and address below.
Thank
you for your consideration, and best wishes for 2006.
