Rugby Relays

Hi all,

Please see instructions for the Rugby Relays to be held on Thursday 8th July. This was an absolutely brilliant run and social event when we held it in 2019. So please get your teams in and support it. Here’s what you need to know!

-       Teams of 3 (this can be a mix of adults and children). Team members do not need to be members of the club; so there is an opportunity for members to introduce friends and family to a fun competition. If you want to enter as an individual, the club will allocate you to a team. 

-       The event operates on a handicap system, which differentiates for all abilities.

-       The relays will start and finish at Southwell Rugby Club and the course is a lap of the perimeter of both rugby pitches. 

-       The new format involves each runner in the team running a total distance of 3 miles. This is 6 laps of the course (half a mile per lap).  Runners may run single laps and then pass on to a team member or run 6 laps in succession. Marshals will be there to assist the counting of the laps.

-       The Rugby Club will be open from 18.15 for runners to collect their team number and the event will start at 18.45 outside of the club.  Afterwards, the bar will be open and chip cobs are available. The club would ask each runner to contribute £2 to assist with the cost of the running of this event. Prizes will be awarded to the winning teams. 

• Please send your name or team to Katy Simpson by Monday 28th June. It would help if you could state where runners are either children or novice runners. Would you also please specify whether you would want a chip cob!  This will help with catering figures.

Thanks,

Katy
