| Specific purposes |
This activity involves racing toward the goal on the other side of an oval track but the runners cannot know whether they should run clockwise or anticlockwise for several seconds after the start of the race. Therefore, even slow runners can win and enjoy racing. |
| Considerations for disability characteristics |
- The starting pistol is to be pointed diagonally upwards so that it is easy to see by everyone. - The arrow indicating the direction to run should be made big enough for everyone to see. |
| Expected effects and results |
- Luck plays a big role in the race. So even a slow runner can win and enjoy racing. - Because runners cannot know whether to run to the right or left for several seconds after the start of the race, each decide the direction to run by watching others, predicting the direction from races in the past, etc. |
| How to use |
(Watch the video above.) 1) The course to run should not be linear but on an oval track. 2) Align the start line, the goal line, and the person to show the direction to run. 3) When the race starts with a starting pistol, the runners start moving to the right or left. They can also choose to not move. 4) Three to five seconds after the start, the person in charge of deciding the direction decides it and shows it with a big arrow. 5) The runners run the decided course to the goal. |
