Congratulations to team Chaos: Nicola, Simon, and Peter Gardner along with fourth member Katherine Gresham. As you can see from the results they won comfortably. Well done.

We would like to thank every one for coming to our annual relay, especially as The Naze is not the easiest of places to get to. The weather was excellent, we hope you enjoyed running around enjoying the off sea breeze. We look forward to hosting another relay event next year as it always seems to be enjoyed and taken in true sporting spirit.

Hilary Sellens (Organiser)


The nth running of the Stragglers' Relays will take place on Sunday July 13th at The Naze, Walton-on-the-Naze.

The usual handicap system will be used with allowance for age and sex. Rumour has it that it is roughly based on the expected minutes per km used as par speeds by the SE League (at some stage in the past) but as far as I'm concerned it is handed down from one organiser to the next!

Start times will be according to handicap with a base time of 12 noon for scratch teams. SI punching will not be used. Nobody has written the software to cope yet!

Rules :

  1. Teams of four runners must complete four short (yellow), three medium (orange) and two long (light green) courses.
  2. Each team member must complete at least one course and no-one may run the same course twice. At the start, each team will receive a set of maps, one for each course. The fourth runner will not be able to start until another team member returns.
  3. Scratch teams will start at 12 noon. Handicap will determine start time of all other teams. Handicap as follows:

    F20181613964911131618202020

    Thus a team made up of W21+M40+M50+W55 will have a handicap of 4+4+8+18 = 34 minutes. Start time will be at 11.26. Easy really!
  5. My decision is final.
