Club junior and Adams-Avery relays. There will be 4 relay classes for teams of three. You can also enter as an individual and we will help to fit you into a team where possible, but it may be necessary for some entries to be non-competitive. If at all possible, please organise your team before entering. The Adams Avery Trophy is open to any group of three competitors from a single club with a total points score sum of no more than 24 (see table on event webpage for details). Team entries and individual runs will be available on Fabian 4. The entire entry process will use Fabian 4. There will be NO form to be emailed to the organiser. You will need to enter your team and assign a team name. You will then need to enter your three runners in the order in which you want them to run: Leg 1 runner first, leg 2 runner and then leg 3 runner. You will need to specify the names of your runners. Changes will be possible on the morning of the relay, but please try to keep changes to a minimum to help the computer team! If your team wishes to be considered for the Adams Avery please check that your team conforms to the eligibility criteria below. It would be helpful if you indicated eligibility in the Fabian 4 comments box when entering, but the organiser will check no eligible teams have been excluded from the Adams Avery competition. If you don’t have a full team (i.e. single or pair of runners wishing to run) you will still need to enter as though you are a team. Enter the RELAY class you would like to run and fill in the name/s of your runners, which will not add up to three in this instance. Fabian 4 will allow this. Please specify your preferred colour-coded course in the Fabian 4 comments box. We will do our best to find a team for as many of you as possible, while respecting your choice of course. If we are unable to place you in a team you may still have an individual run on the day.
