Week 2 of SAMA winter competition at Felixstow Reserve:
Relay Challenge #1 will have the following event (scratch):
Run/Club Walk Relay – from 2.15pm; total distance 6km.
Teams of 3 – 2km leg per person – touch handover
Nominate your Team beforehand to johnhore@gmail.com . Teams can consist of three persons, each doing 2km, or a two person team with one doing 4km and the other 2km.
Please indicate what distance each person will do. It is all based on handicaps so there is no disadvantage for slower athletes. Teams can be runners, walkers or a mixture of both.
If you can’t organise a team, still let John know (including which distance) and he will put you in a team. Failing all that we will organise teams on the day but entering beforehand will certainly help.
Prizes to be won and Afternoon Tea provided. Please bring your own cup.
