England Athletics Virtual Road Relays
Many thanks to all the Kent AC athletes who have currently entered the event, hopefully we can get more runners entered and raced, given that the deadline for virtual submissions has been moved to midnight on 13 January, so please enter here.
A reminder, the entry is completely free and the competition is made up of mixed teams of 8 (4 men and 4 women). The top 50 teams will qualify into the National Round. The minimum age for entry is 15 so it would be good to get some of our younger runners involved and get as many teams out as possible.
We’ve had some fantastic results in from doughty Kent AC runners.
Once all runs done so far are submitted, Kent is provisionally in 2nd place nationally behind Windsor, Slough, Eton and Hounslow AC (WSEH). Therefore, we will easily qualify into the national round ,which follows on from this regional round, but it would be great to see how high up in the regional round we can finish.
Some performances of note so far:
Anthony Johnson currently sits in 6th place overall with his excellent 24:22, Phil Sanders is leading M45 with 26:13 and Jonathan Tipper is 2nd M40 with 26:13. Alexa Parker is the first Kent AC athlete on the women’s side with 29:30, Katie Rowland has run 30:05, with Sarah Hanley 30.32, Jen Berg 32.41.
Key things to remember when planning your route:
- Net elevation change between start and end points must be less than 10m
- Start and finish points must be within 500m of each other
- Laps must be longer than 1km
- Elapsed time will be used, so no ‘Ross Barkley attempts can be done!’
