Relay Rules

These inter club relays are a fun social competition - but with all events of this nature we need a few rules to give it some structure.  The following rules must be adhered to, failure to do so could lead to disqualification.

The Rules

  1. Any runner can run in a team in their own age category or a team in a lower age category but NOT for a team in an older category.  This doesn't include the junior categories, only juniors can run in them - A junior runner can stay as a junior for all races in the season if they were under 17 on the date of the first race of the season.  Also a Junior can run for a Senior team but no Vet team.
  2. Men will run in Men's teams and Women will run in Ladie's teams.  There is a Mixed team for Juniors and the Over 55s can consist of any 3 runners of any gender.
  3. Each team must be made up of 4 (for Men - Sen, Vets and V50) or 3 (all other categories) distinct runners - no runner should run more than one leg in a single team.
  4. Each team is allocated runner numbers at the start of the year - all runners must wear the correct numbers for their team category - failure to do so could result in disqualification.
  5. Headphones must NOT be worn whilst running.  This is for runner and marshal safety.
