7.5.2 3000 metres Continuous Relay (seven and half laps of a 400 metres track)
This continuous relay has been devised for teams of ten members consisting of five girls and five boys
of whom one member should be appointed as team captain. The combined age of the team must
not exceed a total of 100 years for nine team members excluding the captain who must be under
16 years of age.
The relay commences with the captains completing a 200 metres section run in lanes. They then pass
the baton onto the next runners positioned at ‘take-over A’ which will be the break point from where
all teams no longer have to run in lanes. From here, the other nine members of the team will
continue to run in sequence over 50 metres sections, passing the baton onto their next team
member at the take-over points. Each of these nine members will run six times and therefore
complete a total distance of 300 metres and the baton will then be at take-over point G, from where
the captains will be required to run the final 100 metres to the finish.
