A unique format of racing. Athletes are allocated a starting time beginning with 0:00 seconds and increasing depending on their times from the season so far.

Leaders will have to chase, and chasers get the opportunity to lead. Hopefully....it means everyone finishes close together!!

Who can run?:

Athletes who have attended 5 or more rounds will be allocated at start time and are eligible for medals, running at Relay & Region XC can be part of the 5 attended rounds.

Athletes with less than 5 attendances can still run, we will estimate a time for them, but they won't be eligible for medals.

Actual running time will be captured to see if the effort is a PB time (calculated after the morning is done & will be published a few days later)

Medals:

First 3 finishers accross the line in each distance. Girls and Boys awarded separately. Adults (YRA Crew) will be awarded separetly to Little Athletes in the 3km race. Note that medals are per distance not per age group. ie Under 7&8 will be running together as normal. More medals will be awarded on Championship Day for each age group, boys and girls separately. 

How?:

Please arrive early to collect your athletes starting times (written on their hand) at the registration table. This takes a bit of time to get every athlete in order.

Extra helpers will be needed to help organise athletes in order and monitor starting order.

Marshals will be vital as runners not used to leading may not be as familiar without someone to follow. Plus runners tend to spread out more.

Race starts at: 0, runners depart in order when the clock matches the time on their hand.

It's lots of fun!! Parents, please try to help your athletes understand what to expect before arriving on the day.
