-->The aim of this event is to encourage team spirit, hoping that the teams will stay together until the end of the event.
In West Woods - stage 5
This is a new relay race offering a wide variety of choice:
You do not need to have a complete team to enter.
Due to the limitations for parking, the number of teams has been limited to 20.
You are therefore advised to enter well in advance.
However team members names must be declared at least two weeks before the event.
The relay will start and finish near Cherhill White Horse.
This is a relay of 14 stages (7 to 10 runners per team, at least four of whom must run two non-consecutive stages each) around the 8 visible Wiltshire White Horses along tracks, across fields, through woods and one stage entirely on road, some of it tarmaced, some of it unmade, using mainly the White Horse Trail, the Wessex Ridgeway, Wansdyke Path, Tan Hill Way and the Imber Range Path.
It gives a wide variety of interest for short distance (from 1.9 miles) to 10 mile runners who like both cross country and (for one stage) road, not to mention the great views that can be seen from this wonderful countryside.
There are 4 stages of less than 3 miles each, 7 stages of less than 7 miles each and 3 stages over 8 miles each.
Each stage will start as a mass start at about the expected time of arrival of the first runner from the previous stage.
Each runner will be awarded points based on the position they finish in each leg. In order to encourage teams of only seven runners, a further point will be added for each runner in the team. The winning team will be the team with the least points. No times will be recorded.
It is the responsibility of each runner to follow the Race Route (supplied with each team's acceptance of entry or available on request), although there will be some marshals. The organisers take no responsibility for ensuring that the trail is waymarked. Your team is advised to check out the course in advance of the race. The course has been plotted on Google Maps which can be seen in great detail, for example the cars parked at Knap Hill are clearly visible individually.
Prizes will be awarded to the 1st Men's team, the 1st Women's team and the first mixed team after the event at The White Horse Inn, Compton Bassett, near Cherhill
Entry Fees - £70 per team.
There is a surcharge of £2 per head for every non-affiliated runner which will be paid to England Athletics.
Closing date for entries: 22nd August 2010. Limit: 20 teams. There will be no entries on the day.
