Beach walking
{{RfD|Both "Beach Run" and "[[Beach Walking]]" seem to be non-notable categories of sport.  Almost all references on the web to its "governing body" that I see on Google seem to be spam type links.  While there seem to be many references on the web to the concept of running on the beach or 5Ks that are held on beaches, there doesn't seem to be any notability to the concept as its own category of sport.|group=Beach Run}}⏎

'''Beach walking''' is a [[sport]] that is based on [[walking]] on the [[sand]] of the [[beach]]. Beach walking can be done on compact sand or non-compact sand. It is an important variant of [[Beach Run]].

Beach walking competitions were held at the 1960s Easter Beach Run at [[Daytona Beach, Florida]] and the Annual Seaside Beach Run in the city of [[Seaside, Oregon]].

There are beach walking competitions. And there are world records of beach walking in multi-day distances.

Beach walking involves specific techniques:

* The walker walks with alternating movement of feet and arms.
* The walker bends the front arm and extends the other arm behind the torso.
* One foot of the walker must be in permanent contact with the sand.
