A hop, skip, and jump sequence covering maximum distance. Rhythm and coordination are key.
2 attempts per participant
Initial hop must be behind the start line (on the line counts as a fault)
The sequence must be hop, step, jump — the hop lands on the same foot used to take off, the step lands on the opposite foot, and the jump lands on both feet; an incorrect foot sequence is a fault
Distance is measured perpendicular from the start line to the most proximal body part upon landing (hands included)
If the participant falls or steps backward after landing, distance is measured to the nearest mark left by any body part
Assign supporters for measuring distances and raking the landing area before each attempt
