The Innes Walking Stones — referred to as just the Innes Stones — are a pair of unbalanced ringed stones with a challenge directly inspired by the Dinnie Stones.
The heavier stone weighs 189lbs and the lighter stone weighs 145 lbs for a total of 334lbs.
The challenge of the lnnes Walking Stones is to carry the stones for max distance — farmer’s walk style — along a 50ft course.
Rules
* Athletes must carry the stones as far as possible along the 50ft course.
* Athletes are allowed a single drop along with a 10 second break, after which they must continue to carry the stones.
* Once the athlete drops the stones a second time, their attempt is over and the distance is measured.
* If an athlete manages to reach the end of the 50ft course, they must turn around and continue the walk back down the course.
* If the athlete reaches the end of the 50ft course before their first drop, they are allowed to drop the stones and pick them up in the opposite direction instead of turning with the stones in hand. This is treated as their single allowed drop.
* After the athlete’s second (and final) drop, the distance is measured from the starting line to the front of the farthest stone.
