Timing is not chip timed. Prizes are awarded to the overall winning team and to the fastest mens, womens, and mixed teams based on cumulative team time. Race permit ARC/26/0369 is in place.
The lap route starts and finishes at TRFC. Runners carry a baton and follow a lane toward Whaddon Lane, turn toward Semington along St George’s Road to the High Street, then to the Canal Bridge and onto the canal tow path past the swing bridge, returning via Whaddon Lane to TRFC where each runner completes a lap of the rugby field before handing on.
