Calderdale Way Relay

We recommend that all Harriers entering this event recce their legs before race day. The route is not flagged.
Your memento will be given to your Leg One runners at registration.

The race is open to runners 18 years of age or older (16 years or over with parental consent on leg 3).
Mixed teams must have a minimum of 6 female runners in order to qualify for the mixed category.
Vets teams must comprise of men aged 40+ or women aged 40+ on the day of the race.

Each leg must be run in pairs, individual runners will not be allowed to run. Runners must finish in pairs and individual runners will be held approx. 100 meters from the leg finish until their partner arrives.
All runners must present their kit for inspection at the start of each leg.
Full FRA Kit: Waterproof top & Bottoms (taped seams), Map, Compass Whistle, Hat & Gloves, Emergency Food.
Runners must register in pairs at the start of each leg, individual runners will not be allowed to register. Each runner must wear the supplied race number on their chest in a way that is clearly visible to race marshals. Race numbers must not be folded or cut down. Race numbers will be issued at the start of each leg.

Club colours must be worn by UKA registered teams. Other teams must wear matching kit.
If requested to do so, runners must make their kit available for inspection at the end of their leg. Failure to do so will result in disqualification of your entire team from the race.

Where a team has insufficient runners to complete the race, it is permitted for a runner to “double up” and undertake two legs of the race. Runners may only run a maximum of two legs and are still required to register and undergo a kit check at the start of each leg. PLEASE NOTE, WHERE A CLUB HAS MORE THAN ONE TEAM, AND THE LEAD TEAM (ie A Team) IS SHORT OF A RUNNER, THAT REPLACEMENT RUNNER SHOULD COME FROM ONE OF THEIR OTHER TEAMS (i.e B, Mixed or vets team), WITH THE LEAD TEAM RUNNER SUBSTITUTING FOR THEM (in the B, Mixed or Vets team).

If a team discovers that an earlier leg pair have not started or completed their leg, the following pair will be permitted to continue the event by starting at the cut off time. Results will be recorded but without an overall team finishing position.
Where a team has to drop out prior to the race day, we will be unable to offer any refund of the entry fee.

Instructions from race marshals must be followed at all times.

Team managers are responsible for checking that none of their runners are prohibited from running by the FRA or UKA either because of bans or club transfer issues.

The decision of the race organiser is final and must be obeyed by all runners. Representations in relation to race infringements must be reported to the race organiser by 4pm on the day of the race. Representations will not be accepted after this time.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Runners should retain their race number, as this will be required to obtain a free meal and hot drink at Spring Hall from 1 pm onwards. Showers are in Ravenscliffe School by the track. No muddy boots. Bar opening time TBC.
