ABOUT

This is a unique trail event and one which serves to bring trail runners together in teams of 4 and to enjoy a morning out in the open running between the vines on dirt road and jeep tracks.

In order to register follow this process:

1. Get together a team of 4 runners and collect their names, surnames, ID numbers, shirt sizes.
2. Nominate a team captain!
3.Create a  cool name for your team! This will be needed for the online registration process.
4. Decide your team theme, ie. the yellow team, the flower power team, the lycra team, 'back to school' team, etc.

5. You can enter in the following categories:
 - Mens
 - Ladies
 - Primary School
 - High School 
 - Mixed mens and ladies

The EDUNOVA TRAIL RELAY works like this:
There are 3 trail 'loops' or distances.
Loop 1 is 1km, loop 2 is 3km and loop 3 is 5km.
There are 4 team members.
Teams arrange themselves in pairs and each pair then runs each of the distances/routes in their pairs.
This means that each team pair will have to complete 1km + 3km + 5km = Total of 9km 
Once the team has completed the 9km the entire team of 4 will need to run one final 1km loop together to compleete the relay race.

So,
Team members 1 & 2 runs 1km then hands the baton to team members 3 & 4
Team members 3 & 4 runs the 1km then hands the baton to team members 1 & 2 
Team members 1 & 2 runs 3km then hands the baton to team members 3 & 4
Team members 3 & 4 runs the 3km then hands the baton to team members 1 & 2 
Team members 1 & 2 runs 5km then hands the baton to team members 3 & 4
Team members 3 & 4 runs the 5km then joins team members 1 & 2 to all run a final 1km loop.

The team must finish this final 1km loop together and once they cross the finish line the event is complete!

There will be a winner in each category!
