Important ‘Entry’ Information

Organisation of teams:

1.   MIC’s are to send team lists online to Mr Chris Van Alphen and myself prior to the Thursday,15th June. Team changes are to be presented to the recording table ASAP, prior to the commencement of the event.

2.   Each school will receive their “Relays Pack” prior to the event, in which will be the necessary tags, pins and information.

3.   Each team will require four (4) tags, with their corresponding team number written on the tag. 4.   Runner 1 – BLUE / Runner 2 – GREEN / Runner 3 – RED / Runner 4 – FINAL RUNNER YELLOW…..If in
