THE INAUGRAL HORNSBY DISTRICT VIRTUAL TEAM RELAYS!

While we wait for NSW restrictions to lift, we will be organising a series of events to keep you motivated.  The first event will be in place of the Road Relays which were cancelled in July. 

FORMAT:

- Virtual teams of 4 runners - teams will be assigned and 'equalised' to make it a true RACE OFF!

- Each runner will complete a 4km time trial anytime between Thursday 2nd September and Sunday 5th September. 

- Courses can be of your own choice (subject to rules below).

- Each team will create their own bib to print and wear; and evidence of the performance must be recorded on STRAVA, with a photo of you wearing your bib (5 second time deduction per runner for wearing a bib).

- Runners are encouraged to wear Hornsby kit if you can.

RULES:

- You MUST comply with NSW Health Guidelines at all times.

- If NSW Health guidelines permit, you CAN run with another person if you choose to, but you can also run solo.

- No strava wankers allowed: No net drop in elevation; No stopping & starting watches; No driving, cycling or putting your watch on your child/dog.

- You MUST be safe at all times.  Do not plan a course with multiple road crossings!

- You must record your run via STRAVA* and tag it as a RACE titled: 'Hornsby District Virtual Relay #1' and include a photo of you with your bib for time bonus.

- If someone in your team fails to participate, your team will be given the slowest time from the event as a substitute.

Watch this space for more Masters and Juniors events and training over September.

*STRAVA is a free app where the cool kids log their training activity.  You can use your smart phone to record your effort, or use a compatible smart watch to link to Strava,
