An 800m relay race with a difference.......

Day-3 of the Trident Trust All Terrain Challenge took the form of a team 800m relay race around the athletics track at Footes Lane.

I admit that I was more than confused at the pre race briefing but thankfully the runners are brighter than this old photographer and the race seemed to run smoothly.

The format of the evening was designed to encourage people to mix with other competitors and it appeared very successful at this. Nineteen teams of up to six runners were formed. These team members then completed their 800m runs by passing the baton.

The clever part was the baton had a transponder attached so each change-over was able to record each individuals own 800m time.

I've added a new gallery featuring the Day-3 race.
