Saturday 13th March 2010, Nell Bank Centre, Ilkley

This event is restricted to KS2 children from the 12 Primary Schools in the League.

General
Nell Bank is a DOG FREE AREA to please leave your dog at home or in the car. Changing and toilet facilities are available at Nell Bank but all activity areas are strictly out of bounds. The best place to park is at the Swimming Pool and walk through, however if weather permits there will be car parking available in the field just inside the entrance to Nell Bank (there will be a notice at the entrance).

Relay Format
Teams of 3 runners in 3 categories - all girls, all boys and mixed. There will be two separate Relay races. One for U11 (Yrs 5/6 in any combination) and the second for U9 (Yrs 3/4 in any combination). Stay within age categories, have 3 different runners per team and no doubling up across teams. Schools can enter as many teams as they like.
Relay map
U11's (Yrs 5/6) will do a 6 x one lap relay. Leg 1 runner hands over to leg 2 -- leg 3 -- leg 1 -- leg 2 -- leg 3 -- finish. So all three runners will do two laps.
U9's (Yrs 3/4) will do a 3 x one lap relay. Leg 1 runner -- Leg 2 -- leg 3 -- finish.
We will be using the same two fields as we did for the 2009 Cross-Country relay event.

Pre-Enter Teams
In order for the day to run as smooth as possible we would like schools to pre-enter teams (give runners name in running order, Relay category (Girls/Boys/Mixed) and whether U9 (Yrs 3/4) or U11 (Yrs 5/6)). If team changes need to be made it should be done between 9am and 9.20 on race day or by e-mail to Shirley before.
