What is "Sweeper" on running event? - Full SBD & Steem Award Bounty

in #bounty6 years ago

The question was asked here:

What does a sweeper do on a marathon course?

So I am asking you in this week's #bounty article:

What is a role of a so-called "sweeper" at a running event?

The first who answers correctly - I am the judge of correctness - gets full SBD and Steem awards that this article will generate. In seven days or so ...


Not every running event has one and there can be more than one sweeper at various courses of the event...

Sweepers can wear bibs like this one.

What is this? [Award to the first...]

Sort:  

In a race it’s the sweeper’s job to stay at the back of the pack and make sure everyone running finishes or, if they drop out they get back to the start safely. Obviously this means running at a pace as slow or slower than the last runner, which can sometimes mean walking part of the course.

Bravo! You are totally correct, of course.

Ps: I somehow expected it that this will be an easy one for you :)

We have a winner!

Now start pumping some upvotes this way, folks, so the award will be more substantial ;)

Let me resteem it!
Lets see if this has any influence on the value 😁
Ps: this time I did not need any help of the wife!

How does the bounty work?
I earlier saw a post with a bounty but that worked different as it had a comment to explain how the bounty works.

This bounty is actually a riddle in this post. There is a question and who answers it first (and correctly in my opinion) gets the liquid rewards. That's all.

Keep on following my and take part in future bounties. I post them around once every week...

Alright and now @fullcoverbetting must wait until next week to see what bounty he gets, correct?

I might start following you, although I first want to check your account a bit further. I already noticed you have quite some SBD, is that for any particular reason?

Yes, Peter needs to wait until this post yields awards. He is a regular winner already :)

It is your choice to follow me. Holding SBD is my choice :)
