If a runner knocks over a pylon while making a turn, he must return it to the upright position before resuming the event. Provided adequate equipment and timers are available, more than one Cadet may run the event at one time. Running area should be level. Any level surface where the Cadet can jump into a soft area such as a grass field. Take-off line should be clearly marked.
Tape measure is required to measure distance.
The Cadet stands with feet comfortably apart, toes just behind an established take-off line. Knees may be flexed, and arms may be swung forward and backward in a rhythmical motion to build momentum. Jump forward as far as possible. Landing may be on one or both feet. Measuring is from the take-off line tothe nearest point of contact on the landing.
