6.8.2.2 ‘All In’ Relay
Activity
: All young athletes are asked to sit down in a circle and large numbers can take part. The
diagram shows a circle of sixteen young athletes.
Young athlete No. 1 is given a baton and runs around the circle before passing it to young athlete
No. 2. No. 1 then sits down in the original place and 2 continues the relay before passing to No. 3.
At the same time, a baton is given to say No. 9, who runs around and passes to No. 10 so two relays
are in process at the same time and all the young athletes are involved in each team.
There is no reason why three or more starting positions cannot be used. Circles can involve up to
sixty young athletes on a large field with six batons being relayed.

Please note that the diameters of these tracks may be reduced for indoor use and will be dependent
on the size of the facility. It is a very important to ensure the track allows the young athletes to run
safely without colliding with walls or pieces of equipment. Therefore the track should be marked out
with these safety considerations in mind.
