This field event requires competitors to jump as far as possible by performing a hop, a step and a jump from a controlled sprint.

Stage one

• Run with controlled speed at the take-off board.

Stage two (hop)

• As you hit the take-off board, fully extend the take-off leg.
• Drive the opposite leg through and ensure the thigh is nearly parallel to the ground at take-off.
• Ensure balance of the whole body and pull the take-off leg and ankle into the bottom.
• Bring the take-off leg forward and rotate to the front of the body.
• Take-off leg begins to pull forward.
• With the take-off leg now in front of you, drive it downwards for the next phase.

Stage three (step)

• On impact with the ground, the 'step' leg drives hard against the floor and is fully extended. The opposite thigh (drive leg) is just below parallel to the ground.
• Keep the drive leg stable and balanced and hold position until you begin to decline.
• At this point, extend the drive leg and snap the foot downwards ready for the next phase.

Stage four (jump)

• On impact with the ground, the 'jump' leg drives hard against the floor and is fully extended. The opposite thigh (drive leg) is just parallel to the ground.
• The arms drive forward and keep your body upright with head looking forwards.
• Finally, drive the arms forward, swing both legs forward and hold position until you hit the sand-pit.
