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
- Runners should prioritise running in a team in their own age category, however, they can make up numbers in a team of a lower age category but NOT for an older category. In the spirit of North Devon Relays, runners should only run in one A team, however from time to time it is permissible to run in two A teams if there are insufficient runners available to make up a full team. 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 not Vet team.
- Men will run in Men's teams and Women will run in Ladies teams. The Mixed teams for Juniors and Over 60s can consist of any 3 runners of any gender.
- 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.
- 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.
- Headphones must NOT be worn whilst running. This is for runner and marshal safety.
