KEY RULES - PLEASE NOTE :

  • You can enter a team of mixed ages, we will assign you to the age cat based on the youngest person in the team, unless they are a junior then the team will default to a senior team.

  • If a team is short then a team member may run 2 legs - in the spirit of things we'd prefer this to be done only if absolutely necessary.

  • Somebody may run for two different teams as long as they are in different team category.

  • Second claim club members can run as long as their first claim club is not taking part.
