If a Walker goes one hour without a new warning, then they lose a warning, which means their timer is restored to the next highest warning threshold of 60 (2nd warning), 90 (1st warning) or 120 (0 warnings).
Violating certain rules like interference with another Walker, get a warning which causes their timer to drop to the next warning threshold of 90, 60, 30 or 0 (ticket). Walkers "buy a ticket" when their timer reaches 0. Walkers get a 1st, 2nd and 3rd warning when their timer reaches 90, 60 and 30 respectively. When a Walker's speed in the correct direction falls below 4 MPH, their timer counts down. Each Walker starts with a two minute timer. The rules of the eponymous Long Walk are as follows (at least the ones that are mentioned in the novel): The plot revolves around the contestants of a grueling walking contest, held annually by a despotic and totalitarian version of 1980's America. 
It was collected in 1985 in the hardcover omnibus The Bachman Books, and has seen several reprints since, as both paperback & hardback. The Long Walk is a novel by Stephen King published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman in 1979 as a paperback original.
